3. You get text that has the correct characters, but in the wrong
order. This mght be because you have not enabled sorting. The text
in PDF files is stored in chunks and the chunks do not need to be stored
in the order that they are displayed on a page. By default, PDFBox does
- not sort the text. Also, if you have text in a language that reads right to left
- (such as Arabic or Hebrew), make sure you have the ICU4J jar file in your
- classpath. This library is needed to properly hande right to left text.

+This is an incremental feature release based on the earlier 1.1.0 release.
+When upgrading to this release, please note that the Ant and Lucene
+integration code has been moved to separate pdfbox-ant and pdfbox-lucene
+components that are also included in this release. The PDFBox resource
+directory has also been moved from /Resources to /org/apache/pdfbox/resources,
+so you will need to update your paths if your application adds extra resources
+to PDFBox. For more details on these changes and all the other fixes and
+improvements included in this release, please refer to the following issues
+on the PDFBox issue tracker at https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX.
