-------------------------------------

Can anyone please take a look at this bug? I´ve seen the same problem again in text extracted from other pdfs (especially text extracted from captions).

> When I extract the text from a given PDF (fussball.pdf, see link below) with Tika 1.2, the text extractor returns duplicated letters for some words. The string "SCHULE/KINDERGRUPPE" for example will be transformed into SSCCHHUULLEE//KKIINNDDEERRGGRRUUPPPPEE".
> The file "fussball.pdf" can be found at:
> http://www.pixelschleuder.de/misc/fussball.pdf
> I used the following command line for text extraction:
> java -jar tika-app-1.2.jar -t -eUTF-8 fussball.pdf > test.utf-8
