[jira] [Created] (PDFBOX-1552) Uppercase letters are read in lowercase manner

Hesham created PDFBOX-1552:
------------------------------

             Summary: Uppercase letters are read in lowercase manner
                 Key: PDFBOX-1552
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-1552
             Project: PDFBox
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Text extraction
    Affects Versions: 1.7.1
         Environment: Windows XP
            Reporter: Hesham
         Attachments: pdf_with_uppercase_letters.pdf

I have a PDF that when I read its contents using PDFBox some uppercase letters are being read as lowercase. For example :
- Word "Testing" is read as "testing"
- Word "Eve" is read as "eve"
- Word "Deuteronomy" is read as "deuteronomy"

Andreas commented on this by: "The pdf uses marked content to replace a string (14.9.4 Replacement Text of the PDF specs provides a simple example). And yes, PDFBox doesn't support it, yet."
