[jira] [Closed] (PDFBOX-4275) Can't extract slanted text through the parsers of the PDFBox

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-4275?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Tilman Hausherr closed PDFBOX-4275.
-----------------------------------
    Resolution: Incomplete

Closing due to lack of feedback. You can still comment and/or reopen. PDFBox can extract diagonal text. However it doesn't look good, for obvious reasons. There is no solution because each glyph stands for itself, so only a human would know that this is part of something.
