             Summary: Corrupted words when using PDFTextStripper
                 Key: PDFBOX-2138
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-2138
             Project: PDFBox
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Text extraction
    Affects Versions: 1.8.5
         Environment: Windows 7 / 64 bit
            Reporter: Walter Kehl


>> I am using PDFTextStripper (embedded into another application) to get 
>> the raw text of PDFs so far with good results but recently a PDF file 
>> has appeared where the output of the PDFTextStripper was corrupted. I 
>> got sentences like:
>>
>>    
>>
>> "There is al o con ern that b nkers may be pushed to misprice risk 
>> (No. 6) by the pres ures of c mpetition and an abunda ce of central b 
>> nk-provided liquidity."

> Additionally some portions of text appear 
> twice in the output: first correctly and then corrupted. I have 
> attached an output created with PDFBox's command line options.
> If you compare lines 357- 365 with lines 421-429 you see that it is 
> the same paragraph, first ok and then with characters missing. In the 
> original source this paragraph is unique.
> The same seems to happen for the other instances where text is corrupted.

I also tried it directly on the command line with the same results: input and output files are attached.
