PDFToImage results in missing text
Hi,
When converting the attached pdf file using the command line tool
PDFToImage the resulting image is missing all the text (attached
test_J25.jpg).
This is being run on a Windows system and occurs when using Java 7 (update
21 or 25). When running on the same Windows system using Java 7 update 11
the resulting image is just fine and contains all the text (attached
test_J11.jpg).
Does anyone know what might cause this or has ideas for further debugging?
Thanks!
Darcy

Yes that is the issue. I'll monitor PDFBOX-1608 and for now we will roll
back to Java pre 1.7.0_21
Thanks for the quick response.

Your attachment didn't make it due to some restrictions to the mailing list.
But I guess we won't need an image demonstrating that something is missing. ;-)

Sounds like your pdf uses type1C/CFF fonts. That's a known issue and
PDFBOX-1608 [1] deals with it.

You may double check if I'm right. Open the pdf in question using acrobat and
have a look at the documents properties (File -> Properites). The font folder
lists all used fonts. You may see one or more entries for an embedded subset of
a type1 font.
