Tamil PDF issues

Hi All,

I have a requirement to read tamil pdf content and persist in db. When I
read using pdfbox, the characters are junked and unreadable. Please help me
on this to resolve the issue. If you have worked on such contexts, please
post me sample code snippet.

Hi,

when you write 'read pdf content' do you mean to extract the text? If so - can the text be extracted using Adobe Reader? What's the output you are getting when you save the file as text with Adobe Reader?
