> I'm working on building a corpus of Uygur texts and some of the content is coming from pdf files. I wrote a short python script to scrape text from pdf using tika-python. The script is Arabic, and the output looks good but there is one major problem: there are many missing spaces between words and I really do not know how to address this issue. I am attaching a pdf file, the script to scrape its text and the output (test_scraped.utf8). Thanks in advance for your help.
