PDFTextStripper() does not extract text correct

[JZ Q <cc...@gmail.com>]

Hi everyone,

I used the following code (lib version 2.0.12) to extract text from some
PDF file. It appears number "3" is occasionally interpreted as "6", for
example, E4283211 becomes E4286211.

Is it normally? Is the code using OCR? Thanks.


PDFTextStripper pdfStripper = new PDFTextStripper();
pdfStripper.setStartPage(i);
pdfStripper.setEndPage(i);

String text = pdfStripper.getText(pdDoc);
String[] docxLines = text.split(System.lineSeparator());
for (String line : docxLines) {

-- 
Best Wishes,
Jason

No, PDFBox doesn't have OCR (but Tika has it as an option).

It could be that your PDF is an image with invisible OCR. Please link to 
your PDF somewhere. (don't attach)
