>
> Key: PDFBOX-4758
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-4758
> Project: PDFBox
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Text extraction
> Affects Versions: 2.0.1, 2.0.18
> Reporter: Michael Reynolds
> Priority: Major
> Attachments: TestExtractText.java, libreoffice-ligatures-test.pdf, msword-ligatures-test.pdf
>
>
> TextExtractor mishandles typographic ligatures. I've attached test documents from both Microsoft Word and LibreOffice.
> I've checked PDFBox's output against xPDF on CentOS, and the ligatures are properly handled with that utililty, so it appears that this is a PDFBox defect.
