Hi , We are using aspose to extract arabic text from pdf files .

The problem is the extracted text looks encrypted , our code :
public String getString() throws Exception {
    com.aspose.pdf.Document pdfDocument =null;
    String extractedText = “”;
    try {
        if (inputStream == null) {
            pdfDocument = new com.aspose.pdf.Document(this.path);
        }
        else {
            pdfDocument = new com.aspose.pdf.Document(this.inputStream);
        }
        com.aspose.pdf.TextAbsorber textAbsorber = new com.aspose.pdf.TextAbsorber();
        pdfDocument.getPages().accept(textAbsorber);
        extractedText = textAbsorber.getText();
    }
    finally {
        pdfDocument.freeMemory();
        pdfDocument.dispose();
        pdfDocument.close();
        pdfDocument=null;
    }

Hi Feras,


Thanks for the acknowledgement.

I have tested the scenario with Aspose.Pdf for Java 10.1.0 and have managed to reproduce same issue that Arabic text is not properly being extracted from PDF file. For the sake of correction, I have logged it in
our issue tracking system as PDFNEWJAVA-34769. We
will investigate this issue in details and will keep you updated on the status
of a correction.

We apologize for your inconvenience.


PS, As Aspose.Pdf for Java is an autoported version from Aspose.Pdf for .NET, so first the fix will be made in Aspose.Pdf for .NET and then same fix will be ported to Java version.

Hi Feras,

Please note that as a normal rule of practice, issues are resolved in first come and first serve basis; but the problems logged/reported under Enterprise or Priority support model, have high precedence in terms of resolution, as compare to issues under normal/free support model.

In case you need to have your issue prioritized, you may consider opting for Enterprise or Priority support options. Nonetheless, note that ES/PS support does not guarantee any immediate resolution of issues (because it might be dependent on other issues or feature which needs to be implemented) but under this model, the development team starts investigating the problem on high priority. For further details, please visit Support Options.

Hi Alain,


Thanks for your patience.

Both the issues are pending for review and I am afraid they are not yet resolved. However once you have raised the issue in Priority support forum, the investigation process will be expedited and then we will be able to share any possible news regarding their resolution.
