Summary: Poppler does not support ActualText
Product: poppler
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: general
AssignedTo: poppler-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
ReportedBy: ajohnson at redneon.com
Poppler does not support ActualText. The ActualText entry is used to specify
replacement text for content that does translate to text but is represented in
a non standard way (eg glyphs for ligatures). ActualText support is required to
enable text to be correctly extracted from the pdf.
Some examples of PDFs that use ActualText are at http://www.unicode.org/udhr/
One of the PDFs that I tested is http://www.unicode.org/udhr/d/udhr_san.pdf
A patch to implement ActualText support is attached.
