    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-3774?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15992815#comment-15992815 ] 

Tim Allison commented on PDFBOX-3774:
-------------------------------------

I tried to save this as text in Adobe Reader, and AR crashed.  When I copy the text from Adobe Reader, I get "noncertifi ed".  When I search in AR, I get no results for "noncertified member", but I do get hits for "ed member".  

If you use PDFDebugger to look at page 7, you can see that a space is actually encoded between \336, the "fi" ligature, and "ed".
