    Description

      The PDF document at http://www.logan.qld.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0010/9496/map_sp_1a_a4.pdf produces invalid characters in the output when filtered by Tika 1.4.

      Is there any proper way to avoid this, or is the best approach to strip such characters from Tika's output?
