Bad_PDF when calling PDF Extract API

Question

Hi team, the attached PDF file failed to parse, when I call the extract PDF api.

The error is as follows.

code: BAD_PDF

message: BAD_PDF - Unable to extract content.

Status: 400

This file could be opened correctly in Adobe Acrobat Reader.

The PDF is malformed. Acrobat/Reader has some "repair" technology built into it that will fix bad PDF when it can. Extract API does not have this.
