------------------------------------
Hi Tilman, first of all Happy New Year - I have been very busy in the past
weeks and only now I'm back on the issue of scraping PDF files using TIkka - I
tried all the possible combinations - the only way to get the correct text is
to copy and paste the PDF content in a txt file and run afterwards the script.
If I do it with WORD there are still mistakes. In any case it won't solve the
issue because I want to extract the text from the original PDF:
