Aspose cant extract text (propably compressed)

Aspose.PDF Product Family
1

Hello,


I have a PDF created by Bullzip PDF Printer and it opens perfectly in PDF viewers.
However when I try to extract its text using Aspose ( 6.6.0), some text are completely random.

Please find the PDF file attached.
Here is the text I get from page 3:

‡7KLVHOHFWURQLFKRPHWLPHUV\VWHPLVDQHOHFWULFDO GHYLFHDQGVKRXOGEHRSHUDWHGZLWKFDXWLRQ … and continues like this

Here is the code I use to extract the text:

var plainTextAbsorber = new TextAbsorber();
document.Pages[3].Accept(plainTextAbsorber);
var text = plainTextAbsorber.Text;


Is there anything I can do to change this behaviour?


Thank you.

Tomas

Hi Tomas,


We have further investigated this issue and have found that It is impossible to extract text from the document since fonts does not contain Unicode mapping. Adobe shows the same behavior.

The issue might be resolved contacting to Bullzip developers to make the printer include unicode mapping with fonts to Bullzip output documents.

We are sorry for this inconvenience.
