While reading the pdf in japanese language. I am getting the following error.

Note - it worked for earlier pdfs in japanese language.

@vedantnarayan Looks like there's some problem with the PDF. I fixed it using qpdf and was able to extract tables.

$ qpdf --decrypt 140120181126441404.pdf fixed.pdf
