文本提取为空，未知文本具有使用PDFBox，iText的type3字体（难题！） [英] Text extraction is empty and unknown for text has type3 font using PDFBox,iText (difficult topic!)

问题描述

我有阿拉伯语的PDF文件，当我使用PDFBox提取文本时，文本字体为Type3，有些字符为空，字体等于null？我想知道这是什么问题？

I have PDF file in Arabic that has text with font Type3 when I extract text using PDFBox some characters are empty and their font equals null? I want to know what is the problem?

代码：

  protected void processTextPosition(TextPosition text) {
    String character=text.getCharacter(); // is empty
    String font=text.getFont().getBaseFont(); // equal null
}

用iText生成的流： （dJ v{dW cG ）Tj

我说的是这些问号，为什么我得到这种格式的字符？

I speak about these question marks, why do I get the characters in this format?

这些问号在我的信息流中出现为SOH-STX-ETX-EOT，而不是一个字符。 PDF中的字符显示为'd'和'J'！

These question marks appeared in my stream as "SOH-STX-ETX-EOT", not one character. The character inside PDF is shown as 'd' and 'J'!

推荐答案

Type 3字体是用户定义的字体。例如：用户可以定义字符P对应于以前称为王子的艺术家的符号（ TAFKAP ）这是一个字形，但不是来自任何已知字母的字母。

A Type 3 font is a user-defined font. For instance: a user can define that the character 'P' corresponds with the symbol for "The Artist Formerly Known As Prince" (TAFKAP) which is a glyph, but not a letter from any known alphabet.

Type 3字体中的字形是一系列的线条和形状，并且iText或PDFBox等程序无法确定哪个字符的含义。你得到一个问号是很正常的。例如：您将使用哪个字符用于此符号？

A glyph in a Type 3 font is a series of lines and shapes, and there's no way for a program such as iText or PDFBox to determine which character was meant. It is only normal that you get a question mark. For instance: which character would you use for this symbol?

以下原因之一适用于包含Type 3字体的PDF：

One of the following reasons applies for a PDF that contains Type 3 fonts:

1. 字体是用于引入任何字体不存在的符号。


2. 该字体用于混淆PDF的内容，以便无法提取其内容。


3. PDF不是以优雅的方式创建的。

如果Type 3字体用于普通字符，您需要使用OCR将内容转换为普通文本。

If the Type 3 font was used for normal characters, you'll need to use OCR to convert the content to normal text.
