> Hello,
> I have found more files which are strange encoded but e.g.
> can be extracted by Adobe. I though it might have to do with
> the Font. All of these files don't provide a BaseFont and I
> think it might be because maybe this files were created on
> Unix systems. Maybe if somehow the font can be provided or
> someone can find out which font is used one can find out how
> to decode the text.

> I have got exactly the same problem. I registred a bug (ID 
> 1250097) and asked a question in the forum at the begining 
> of August under the title : "Text Extraction unsuccessful with 
> PDFBox". Unfortunately, I haven't got any solution yet. 
> If you find a way to solve this problem, i am interested in ...
> Thanks
