Andreas Lehmkühler resolved PDFBOX-5.
-------------------------------------

       Resolution: Fixed
    Fix Version/s: 1.7.0

PDFBox won't extract the whole text from chinese.pdf as it doesn't provide any character mappings for some of the used fonts. Even acrobat reader can't extract the whole text.

Set to resolved.

> involved, including whether a font (or its subset) is 
> embeded or not.
> Attached is a simple Korean PDF that so far has not 
> been correctly interpreted by any java based 
> opensource libraries.  Though it could be rendered 
> correctly by XPDF on linux and also Windows.

> Hello Ben,
> Thanks for the response.  I just downloaded PDFBox 0.6.5 and 
> wrote a little sample program to test it against 3 CJK PDF files 
> I have, and the output is still no good.  I have attached my 
> sample program, the 3 PDFs and the output in the attached 
> zip file.
> Can you tell me what I am foing wrong?
> The PDF files were generated by using Adobe Acrobat 5.0 
> using embeded fonts I believe.
> Thank you.

> There was no attachment with this.  I have done some CJK 
> work in the 0.6.5 release.  Please attach the document and I 
> can take a look at it.(Make sure you check the 'attach file'
