Giorgio Pettenati commented on PDFBOX-860:
------------------------------------------

I'm experiencing this same issue with the latest PDFbox 1.3.1 (11/11/2010)
In my document there are words like: Office, conflict, first aid, fighters
these words are extracted as follows: Of?ce, con?ict, ?rst aid, ?ghters

I've tried changing the encoding passed to the PDFTextStripper but without results...

> 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
