Hi @xhdavid Appreciate your interest in the library. This PDF has the STSONG font and appears to be a duplicate of #332. If the text isn't recognised when you run pdfminer.six's pdf2txt as described in https://pdfminersix.readthedocs.io/en/latest/tutorial/commandline.html#pdf2txt-py, I would recommend you to raise an issue over at https://github.com/pdfminer/pdfminer.six/issues. If it is recognised, then please reopen this issue.

@samkit-jain Hi,Just tested with pdf2txt.py, the text can be recognized.

@xhdavid That's weird. Can you tell me the steps on how you ran the script and how you installed pdfminer.six? When I ran the script on my machine, I am getting the result as
