Giorgio Pettenati updated PDFBOX-860:
-------------------------------------

    Attachment: new_evidence2.zip

Hi Martijn, 
I can confirm that after adding the dependency ICU4J 3.8 to my classpath the extraction of the text is correct. 
We attach a print of my system properties in the case could be of some use. 
I still want to point out that the extraction problem does not occur on all PDF documents, but only with some. 
It may be that this particular document is badly coded, or in a different way than standard. 
Anyway thanks for your attention and your precious time.

Best regards
     Giorgio

> Hi
> I am trying to use PDF box 1.2.1 version to extract text from PDF files.
> The following issue is observed in the extracted text:
> 1. Combination of the characters 'fi' is converted to a '?'
> example:  first becomes ?rst
>                   classifier becomes classi?er
>                   find becomes ?nd
> Is this a known bug? Can some setting of the PDF box be turned of to prevent this?
> Thanks & Regards
> Saurabh
