Whilst trying to extract some text from a PDF document, I get a result like this: designated point defined b\x0\x0\x3\x0U\x0H\x0I\x0H\x0U\x0H\x0Q\x0F\x0H\x0 \nto navigation aids, whereas the online demo on pdfparser.org extracts this readable to designated point defined by reference to navigation aids,

The document is attached: 2020Pruefungsfragen_AZF_pdf-1.pdf

What might be a reason that text is extracted correctly for the most part, but that hundreds of such occasions are left intact? The PHP version is 7.4.16

Ah, damn, entirely my mistake. My composer.json had reverted to a previous' project parser version of 0.15 - Version 1.0 is working fine. Apologies!

No problem, happens to the best.
