-----------------------------------------
Thanks Uwe; it sounds like there's not much we can do for such old PDFs.
> Arabic PDF doesn't extract correctly

> Key: TIKA-722
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-722
> Project: Tika
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: parser
> Reporter: Michael McCandless
> Priority: Minor
> Attachments: 000279.pdf, JUFO96.PDF, metadata.png
>
>
> I have a PDF w/ Arabic font that Tika fails to extract (gets all
> gibberish).
> Looks like the PDF does not include the separate Unicode text metadata
> (hmm: would Tika extract that if it were present?), and copy/paste out
> of the PDF also produces gibberish.
> To fix this I think we'd somehow have to know the mapping for the
> font (this particular font is AXTManal)?
