Strange text extracted using TextAbsorber

Aspose.PDF Product Family
1

I am trying to extract the text from a PDF file using the TextAbsorber class; here is the code I am using:


Stream stream = File.OpenRead(“test.pdf”);

using (Document pdfDocument = new Document(stream)) {
TextAbsorber textAbsorber = new TextAbsorber(new TextExtractionOptions(TextExtractionOptions.TextFormattingMode.Raw));

pdfDocument.Pages.Accept(textAbsorber);
File.WriteAllText(“pdfContent.txt”, textAbsorber.Text);
}

I would expect that the content of the pdfContent.txt file contains “Pdf test” multiple times, see the attached pdfContent.txt file for actual content. (Note: Not using aspose licence here to keep things simple)

Can you tell me whats wrong with the PDF file?

Hi Daniel,


Thanks for your patience.

We have further investigated the issue reported earlier and as per our observations, It is not possible to extract text from this document. The document’s font does not provide mapping to Unicode.
