Text Extraction from PDF

We had copied Contents(TEXTS) from PDF file and Pasted in .txt as well as .docx file.

THE RESULTS REMAINS SAME.

Additionally, THE PDF SEARCH OPTION  SHOWS THE SAME INCORRECTED TEXT.

THE TEXT FILE LINK:

TEST.txt - Google Drive

THE DOC FILE LINK :

TEST.docx - Google Drive

THE IMAGE SHOWING SEARCHED TEXT IN ADOBE ACROBAT DC

TESTED IN PDF.PNG - Google Drive

This is the Acrobat Reader forum. Please share the result you get when extracting text or copy/paste using Acrobat Reader.

THE PDF FILE LINK :

TEST.pdf - Google Drive

/// PROGRAM IN C# USING "PDFBOX" LIBRARY

             PDDocument doc = null;

            string input = textBox1.Text; // INPUT FILE PATH IS IN textBox1.Text

            doc = PDDocument.load(input);

            PDFTextStripper stripper = new PDFTextStripper();

            foreach (char c in stripper.getText(doc)) // EXTRACT EACH CHARACTER FROM TEXT

            {

                string text1 = String.Format("Character '{0}' has Decimal code: {1} and Unicode value: U+{2}",

                                  c, ((int)c), ((int)c).ToString("X4"));

               string unicode = "\\" + "u" + ((int)c).ToString("X4"); // TO STORE UNICODE AS "\u<unicode>", EACH CHARACTER

               File.AppendAllText(output, unicode); // STORE UNICODE IN TEXT FILE (output)

            }

          // OPTIONAL

          //  File.WriteAllText(output, stripper.getText(doc), Encoding.UTF8); // TO STORE TEXT in TEXT FILE (output).

Can you confirm how you obtained this list of Unicode points? Was it by adding code to the character extractor? Please do not read this value from the app opening the extracted data as this introduces the possibility of new errors.

It it would be best if you could share the PDF. You must ise your own file sharing for this.

For the word in pdf

the unicode should be: \u0939\u0930\u094D\u0937\u0928\u093F\u0927\u093E\u0928\u0938\u0942\u0930\u093F

Text SHOWS :

It shows unicode as : \u0939\u0930\u094D\u0937\u0928\u093F\u0927\u093E\u093F\u0938\u0942\u0930\u093F

Yes, so please share the specific numbers for the two strings  in your images. In full please.

Yes Exactly.

When the text is "XZ" in PDF; It must extract "XZ".

I have built a .NET application in C# .

Till now I have tried using iTextSharp, PdfBox and PDFlib. But no clear extraction.

Sorry, simple error. I should have typed: "For example if you saw XY but expected XZ I would want you to reply that you saw 0058 0059 but expected 0058 005A".

How did you extract the text with Acrobat Reader?
