ExtractText method not working

Aspose.PDF Product Family
1

Hi, I’m using Pdf.Kit to extract text from pdf files. It works for some files, but for others it gives me nothing but NewLine characters

I’ve attached a pdf that can be used to repro
I’m using Aspose.Pdf.Kit version 3.4.0 in .NET

Here is my code:
FileInfo fileInfo = new FileInfo( @“c:\suiteM.pdf” );
using( FileStream fileStream = fileInfo.OpenRead() ) {
using( MemoryStream memStream = new MemoryStream() ) {

PdfExtractor extractor = new PdfExtractor();
extractor.BindPdf( fileStream );

// I’ve tried both 1 and 0
extractor.ExtractTextMode = 1;
extractor.ExtractText();
extractor.GetText( memStream );
memStream.Position = 0;

using( StreamReader reader = new StreamReader( memStream ) ) {
string text = reader.ReadToEnd();
Console.Write( text );
}
}
}

Hi Brian,

I have tested the issue using the supplied file, but I'm getting a different error at my end "Wrong text extracting, please check your pdf". Are you getting this same error?

Also, please share your system specifications on which you're having issues.

We're sorry for the inconvenience.
