John Hewson closed PDFBOX-756.
------------------------------
    Resolution: Not a Problem

This isn't a bug - that really is the text embedded in the PDF file, due to a lack of Unicode handling in TeX.

> For some TeX-created files, some characters are mapped to low ASCII values. Example:
> fx  2y − fx − 2y 
> instead of
> (x + 2y) - f(x − 2y) =
> With the non-printable characters denote by \xN, PDFBox's result is
> f\x3x\x4 2y\x5 − f\x3x − 2y\x5 \x6
> This probably cannot be fixed, since in another file the same numbers represent different characters:
> Za  {a, a  1, . . .}
> instead of
> Z(a) = {a, a + 1,...}
> (Z\x4a\x5 \x6 {a, a \x7 1,  . . .})
> in another file.
