Am using Aspose.PDF to extract text from by using Textabsorber. But the extracted text is having lot of unwanted text. Attaching the extracted Text and the original PDF. Below is the code being used in c#.
private static string ExtractTextFromPDF([FromForm] FileUploadRequest convertRequest)
{
try
{
if (convertRequest.FileData != null && convertRequest.FileData.Length > 0)
{
var pdfDocument = new Document(new MemoryStream(convertRequest.FileData));
// Create TextAbsorber object to extract text
var textAbsorber = new TextAbsorber();
// Accept the absorber for all the pages
pdfDocument.Pages.Accept(textAbsorber);
// Get the extracted text
var extractedText = textAbsorber.Text;
return extractedText;
}
else
{
return string.Empty;
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
throw;
}
}

Hi team,
Any update on this. We do have many PDF with images which successfully extracted text but why exceptionally we got lot of junk characters in this pdf alone.
Is there any way/ config to find if the PDF has SVG/ graphical images and we can skip the conversion of them. It will be helpful if you can reply us soon.
@Vijayalakshmisridharan
The issue may be related to the encoding. However, we are afraid that we cannot comment much on the situation because the ticket is not yet investigated. We will prioritize it on first come first serve basis and as soon as we have some updates, we will share with you. Please be patient and spare us some time.
We are sorry for the inconvenience.
Hi,
I did see that the original pdf itself is having some kind of non-printable characters that is causing the issue. Something like this "H5H9A9BHGC:H<9F9;=GHF5BH=B7@I898=BH<9:=@=B;F9:@97H. ". Is there any inbuild API service that Aspose is providing to check if the file is valid file or not.
