Marc Teutelink commented on PDFBOX-1783:
----------------------------------------

We've tried this file with the Apache PDFBox tool "org.apache.pdfbox.PDFBox" using the option "ExtractText" and got the same binary stuff out too. However, the linux tool pdftotext is able to extract the text out just fine, so it doesn't appear to be a corrupt file.

> PDFBox extracts complete bogus text from the attached document. I have attached the .PDF in question. I discovered this when using Tika, so I have linked the corresponding TIKA Jira issue to this issue as well.
