Extracted tables give encoded text.

First of all, thanks for your lib. It helps me a lot in everyday's work.

I have a problem with a daily pdf report. Some days camelot works properly and gives 'good text'. Others, it gives a good table structure, but the text inside is somehow 'encoded'.

I have realized that meta-data are very similar, but when it says:

         pdf:Producer='GPL Ghostscript 9.05'/>         <--- ¡ Good extraction !
         pdf:Producer='GPL Ghostscript 9.07'/>         <--- ¡ Bad extraction !

I have checked this out with about 30 or 40 different PDFs.

¿ Have you got some idea on how to solve the problem ?
