Hi @modesty,

When I read data from pdf file the output data is in the form of encoding format. Can you please take a look? Periods.pdf

Code snippet: var pdfParser = new PDFParser(this,1); pdfParser.on("pdfParser_dataError", errData => console.error(errData.parserError) ); pdfParser.on("pdfParser_dataReady", pdfData => { console.log(pdfParser.getRawTextContent()); //console.log(pdfParser.getAllFieldsTypes()); fs.writeFile('' + filePath + '/Axioma Optimization 101.txt', pdfParser.getRawTextContent()); });

    pdfParser.loadPDF('' + filePath + '/Periods.pdf');

Regards, Durga Prasad
