Retrieving national characters from PDF file

[Halla602]

Hi, I recently encountered a customer, who had trouble retrieving text from his PDF file. He sent us a sample PDF, on which calling the function "GetPageText()" retrieves the page text with some characters corrupted, some correct. For example:

This is how the sentence looks exported using GDPicture - Záznam o ovìøení elektronického podání doruèeného
This is how the sentence should look with all nat. chars - Záznam o ověření elektronického podání doručeného

It seems the problem is with characters ě š č ř ž ď ť ň ľ

Sample code we using for page extraction:

Code: Select all

        GdPicture9.LicenseManager LicenceManager = new GdPicture9.LicenseManager();
        LicenceManager.RegisterKEY("xxxxxxxxxxxx");
        GdPicturePDF Pdf = null;
        status = Pdf.LoadFromStream(Input_stream);
        int Page_Count = Pdf.GetPageCount();
        StringBuilder output = new StringBuilder();
        try 
        {
          for (int i = 0; i < Page_Count; i++)
          {
            temp_page_text = Pdf.GetPageText();
            output.Append(temp_page_text);
          }
        }
...
        return output.ToString();

The attached .zip contains Input PDF and the output of GetPageText() function.
I am using GDPicture 9.4.0.9

Hello,

With the current version of the toolkit https://www.gdpicture.com/download-gdpicture/ you should be able to extract the text correctly.
Please kindly let us know if it works for you.
