[jira] [Closed] (PDFBOX-4881) Is it possible to properly extract text from this pdf?

["Tilman Hausherr (Jira)" <ji...@apache.org>]

Tilman Hausherr closed PDFBOX-4881.
-----------------------------------
    Resolution: Won't Do

Closing this one, as it is almost impossible. An ideal solution would be to reconstruct /ToUnicode by using OCR for the individual glyphs, or better: by using the OCR results to create a huge database with glyph outlines. This would be a nice project for companies doing OCR as a service, because one would have better text extraction than from "pure" OCR.

> This PDF has farsi characters, but probably the char codes are wrong and probably no mapping table.
> If there's any work to be done to support Farsi I would be happy to do that myself, I just need a pointer to the right direction.
