    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-1907?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14179752#comment-14179752 ] 

Michael Goddard commented on PDFBOX-1907:
-----------------------------------------

On a project using Apache Tika 1.6, we hit this issue with a particular PDF file.  To check I attempted to extract text using PDFBox alone, as shown below, and observe the same issue.  Adobe Acrobat Reader is able to extract the text from this document.  Are there any thoughts on how to solve for this other than avoiding certain problematic PDF files?

Here's what I observed:

[Downloads]$ java -Xmx1g -jar pdfbox-app-1.8.7.jar ExtractText -console -encoding UTF-8 ./Apache_Solr_4.7_Ref_Guide.pdf
