Andreas Lehmkühler closed PDFBOX-132.
-------------------------------------

    Resolution: Cannot Reproduce
      Assignee: Andreas Lehmkühler

Closed as there isn't any sample pdf and I guess in the mean time the issue is most likely solved.

> Hi Ben,
> I was going through the Pdf file conversion by the acrobat 
> professional. One difference i observed between the 
> extraction of text by acrobat professional and PDFBox is 
> that while exracting the text from the pdf file, the 
> PDFBox extracts even the text from the image object if 
> there is some text present, but the acrobat doesn't do 
> that it eliminates the text which is present in the 
> images. So that makes the difference. When we start 
> extract the text from the images if there is some text 
> which is in a non-ascii format then that text is 
> represented as a box because it is extracted as it from 
> the image. The acrobat avoids this type of extraction and 
> does not give any box. 
> This is only my view if i am wrong thn please excuse me.
> I am waiting for your reply on this.
> Thanking you

> Hi Ben,
> Even i am facing the same problem. Sometimes when i try to 
> extract the PDF file content the extracted text contains 
> boxes which doesn't give me any idea of they mean. When i 
> tried to extract the same pdf file using the acrobat 
> professional the whole text which contained boxes was 
> eliminated and the rest of the text content was extracted. 
> I wanted to know whether any remedy as been found or can u 
> help to do the same what the acrobat professional does. 
> Thank You
