Description

I find that pdfbox have different behaviour in extracting symbol "-" in windows 7 /macOS11 /ubuntu 20

For attached file 2020032000583_page5.pdf, about line three:

"Lease liabilities 11,528 –", I can successfully extract the symbol "-", but this is missing in environment macOS and ubuntu

 

Similar case occur in attached file 2020033001335_page3.pdf, line:

"Lease liabilities 3,345 –"

and attached file ltn20190828635_page3.pdf, line:

"Lease liabilities 3,943 –"

Do you have any idea about this and any work around?
