[jira] [Created] (PDFBOX-4737) Text extraction is gibberish

Jorge Spinsanti created PDFBOX-4737:
---------------------------------------

             Summary: Text extraction is gibberish
                 Key: PDFBOX-4737
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-4737
             Project: PDFBox
          Issue Type: Improvement
    Affects Versions: 2.0.18
            Reporter: Jorge Spinsanti
         Attachments: noUnicodeMapping.pdf

As it was discussed on https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-4549 there are many PDFs where the text extraction is gibberish.

Perhaps you can add two modes (strict/lax) to text extraction to avoid gibberish if not useful. Add a file to analyze the problem.
