@Oussama ok i will

@onionchi yeah u r right 😊

help me too
i need to convert a pdf encoding into UTF format and parse to extract text from it in Java.
btw its req for my hadoop project.

@vivek7 For text extraction in Java i'd use Apache Tika, https://tika.apache.org/
Really useful, simple, and well-documented

@LucaScorpion its not about only the text extraction. I use apache pig pig.apache.org
pig uses UTF8 encoding and accepts data only in utf8.so the problem is pdf has diff encoding that cant be read by pig.
so i need to write a java function tht convert any encoding to UTF8 and then data extraction wont be a problm as pig has functions for it.

@vivek7 Hmm, afaik tika can handle various encodings, maybe you can use that instead? Or do you need some specific functionality from pig?
