[jira] [Resolved] (TIKA-722) Arabic PDF doesn't extract correctly

["Michael McCandless (Resolved) (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-722?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Michael McCandless resolved TIKA-722.
-------------------------------------

    Resolution: Won't Fix

OK resolving as Won't Fix.

I don't see how Tika can recover when the font itself is buggy... though it is tantalizing that the glyph IDs for this font are in fact Unicode code points.

I just hope there are not too many buggy fonts out there!

> I have a PDF w/ Arabic font that Tika fails to extract (gets all
> gibberish).
> Looks like the PDF does not include the separate Unicode text metadata
> (hmm: would Tika extract that if it were present?), and copy/paste out
> of the PDF also produces gibberish.
> To fix this I think we'd somehow have to know the mapping for the
> font (this particular font is AXTManal)?
