Hi @shm007g Appreciate your interest in the library. This is not a bug of the library but rather because the PDF is not correctly formed (as per the PDF specification). You may try repairing the PDF using ghostscript and then using it. You may run the following command to do so

gs -o output.pdf -sDEVICE=pdfwrite input.pdf

I repaired the PDF and you can download it from here.

Thanks very much! Can you tell me how you repaire? I Have a can't find cid font error. Not fix this for one day.

gs -o output.pdf -sDEVICE=pdfwrite input.pdf

Yes, I also received the same message but I was able to extract all the text still so I think the output file should be good to go. Did you find any issues with it?

shm007g commented 3 years ago

Some tokens lost or changed to unvalid one. I also tried merge command like gs -q -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -dBATCH -sOUTPUTFILE=${line%.*}_mod.pdf -dNOPAUSE "${line} same problem but does not have this font errors.
