---------------------------------------
Fixed in PDFBOX-5868.
> Ligatures convert on text extraction
> -------------------------------------
>
> Key: TIKA-3858
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-3858
> Project: Tika
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: parser
> Affects Versions: 2.4.1
> Environment: win 8, jre 1.5
> Reporter: tom hill
> Priority: Major
> Labels: ActualText
> Attachments: TikaChromeInboxLigature.pdf
>
>
> It appears that the issue in TIKA-1289 is still present. Ligatures get
> replaced by a question mark.
> As a particular example, the ft ligature is getting replaced by utf-8: ef bf
> bd
> Is there any new resolution on this issue? Just returning the fl ligature
> would be great, or normalizing it to f, t.
> This particular example comes from saving my gmail inbox page as a pdf, in
> chrome. It uses the ft ligature in the word "Drafts".
> There are many similar examples, it's not specific to one pdf generator.
> I'm using tika-app-2.4.1.jar
