PDFEXTACTOR method not functioning as desired

I am having difficulty having PDFEXTRACTOR method working as desired. I am using Pdf.Kit v3.9 using the following Help code snippet

Imports Aspose.Pdf.Kit

Module Module1

Sub Main()

Dim extractor As PdfExtractor = New PdfExtractor()

Dim license As License = New Licenselicense.SetLicense(

"c:\rmu\Aspose.Total.lic")

extractor.Password = ""

extractor.BindPdf("c:\rmu\1.pdf")

extractor.ExtractText()

extractor.GetText("c:\rmu\1.txt")

End Sub

and the resultant text is simply jibberish. I have had it working in my full blown app, then all of a sudden it started giving me jibberish, so I went right back to a basic Help snippet to test and I get the same results.

Some of the jibberish:
