    Hi ​@PALAKSHA Hurkadli ,

     

    Sounds like the Unicode map is missing or broken.

     

    What happens if you use the built-in Scan & OCR tool in Acrobat to diagnose the issue (no code needed)?

     

    For example, letting Acrobat run its text recognition could rebuild the broken character maps.
