Encoding issues

I have a few Russian PDFs that are exibiting strange behavior when being extracted with PDFTextStripper. I am attaching my pdf, but I'm not sure if that is the correct thing to do. When I extract the PDF on windows using UTF-8  encoding, the output is garbage. When I extract the PDF on windows not specifying an encoding, the output is correct when viewed with Ultra Edit. When I extract the PDF on linux using any encoding, the output is garbage. 
It appears to me that the encoding isn't being read correctly from the PDF, and when it's outputted as UTF-8, it is being double encoded. I can detect this double encoding, and then run the file with no encoding specified, then convert it to UTF-8 using iconv, and it is OK. But, this method does not work on linux, as I cannot get the file to extract using any encoding on linux. 
Has anyone come across anything like this before, and if so, what can be done to solve it? I am using the latest 0.8 build from the svn repository. I just recently started using pdfbox, so I am not very familiar with the code. Any information will be helpful. Thanks.

Sorry this would be a job for one of the pdfbox developers. Until now I'm just doing some support for the list and didn't have too much know-how about it.

 

So I can just have a look in the evening and maybe I will find a solution. ;)

Hi,

 

I've just added this line:

 

//after stripper.extractRegions();

stripper.getText(document));

 

After doing this I got some text for the regions. But it seems that this text is related to page 1. Did you have found an example how to use the Stripper? Maybe another guy could help you, due the fact that I don't have any knowledge about the Stripper.

 

If I have some time in the evening I will give it another test.

Hello Daniel,

 

I tried using the compiled version sent across by you with no luck.

 

I tried running a java program (for text extraction) with PDFBox 0.7.3 and 0.8 versions in the classpath separately. With 0.8, I am not being able to fetch anything. However with 0.7.3, I could extract all values apart from "Year of Form"  whose value is garbage - À¾´» , which is why you recommended using 0.8.

 

Note - Java program and my PDF are attached for your kind reference. The names of the java files are self explanatory and indicative of which version they are using. The contents of these java files are exactly the same.

 

Please advise.

 

Thanks!

PDFBox is still under incubation and there is not 0.8 distribution. What you could do, is downloading the source code and build it by your own. So you could have a look at the code and debug it, where the garbage is produced. Or ask me and I will build you a compiled version.

Can you please point me to the URL/location from which 0.8 version can be downloaded?

As it is not possible to attach files to any contribution to this
mailinglist, I suggest to submit an issue via JIRA [1] with a brief
description of your problem. Furthermore it is easier to track problems
using JIRA. Please attach a least one sample document to demonstrate the

Re: Garbage Output

Posted by Daniel Manzke <da...@googlemail.com>.
Hi,
I've just added this line:

//after stripper.extractRegions();
stripper.getText(document));

After doing this I got some text for the regions. But it seems that this
text is related to page 1. Did you have found an example how to use the
Stripper? Maybe another guy could help you, due the fact that I don't have
any knowledge about the Stripper.

If I have some time in the evening I will give it another test.


Bye,
Daniel

RE: Garbage Output

Thanks Daniel.

 

Do you mean that - I need to fetch the latest source code from the trunk in the Subversion repository? If no, how can I get the source code for 0.8?

 

I would really appreciate if you can build me a compiled version. I hope I am not bothering you.

 

Thanking you in anticipation.

PDFBox is still under incubation and there is not 0.8 distribution. What you could do, is downloading the source code and build it by your own. So you could have a look at the code and debug it, where the garbage is produced. Or ask me and I will build you a compiled version.

PDFBox is still under incubation and there is not 0.8 distribution. What you
could do, is downloading the source code and build it by your own. So you
could have a look at the code and debug it, where the garbage is produced.
Or ask me and I will build you a compiled version.

Garbage Output

Posted by "Duseja, Sushil" <su...@fiserv.com>.
Hello,

 

While extracting text from a pdf file (attached for your kind reference) using PDFBox, I get garbage output (À¾´») for a special text value"2007" (please see page 2); I can fetch other values correctly though. 

Is this an encoding issue; if yes, can anyone please let me know how to fix it? If possible, please point me to some working examples.

 

Thanks in advance.
