[jira] Commented: (PDFBOX-455) java.lang.ClassCastException: org.pdfbox.cos.COSString cannot be cast to org.pdfbox.cos.COSName

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-455?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12704029#action_12704029 ] 

Andreas Lehmkühler commented on PDFBOX-455:
-------------------------------------------

Did you ever try to extract the text with the trunk-version? There were a lot of changes in the last time especially within the textstripper and the font-handling. Perhaps the issue is solved already.
