> I am doing some text extraction of Russian documents and some of them aren't extracting correctly. I am using PDFTextStripper.
> When I extract on windows using UTF-8  encoding, the output is garbage. 
> When I extract on linux using any encoding, the output is garbage. 
> The only way I can get viable output is when I extract the PDF on windows, but don't specify an encoding. If I do this the output is correct when viewed with Ultra Edit, but not in notepad. I can view the output in notepad only after I convert the file to utf-8 with iconv.
> It appears to me that the encoding isn't being read correctly from the PDF, and when it's
> outputted as UTF-8, it is being double encoded or something. I can detect this double encoding, and then
> run the file with no encoding specified, then convert it to UTF-8 using iconv, and it is OK.
> But, this method does not work on linux, as I cannot get the file to extract correctly using any encoding
> on linux.
