[jira] [Commented] (PDFBOX-4758) Text Extractor does not handle
common typographic ligatures
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-4758?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17027960#comment-17027960 ]
Tilman Hausherr commented on PDFBOX-4758:
-----------------------------------------
As I wrote, the word file is incorrect so I don't expect anything good. But the libreoffice file should work. Could you please test with pdf-app of 2.0.18 ?
java -jar pdfbox-app-2.0.18.jar ExtractText -sort libreoffice-ligatures-test.pdf XXXX
where XXX is your output file (or the console "filename"). I get
{quote}conflict, difference, baffling, finished, affirmation
{quote}
and this works both with 2.0.18 and with 2.0.1 for me.
Do any error / warning / info log messages appear on your machine? I'm surprised that it doesn't work there because the fonts are embedded, so no troubles with missing fonts.

> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Text extraction
> Affects Versions: 2.0.1, 2.0.18
> Reporter: Michael Reynolds

> TextExtractor mishandles typographic ligatures. I've attached test documents from both Microsoft Word and LibreOffice.
> I've checked PDFBox's output against xPDF on CentOS, and the ligatures are properly handled with that utililty, so it appears that this is a PDFBox defect.
