Printing to a slightly older version of the Postscript driver on Windows from
some application - which means that since Postscript is for printing, there is
no requirement that the font encoding information be maintained. And then an
old version of Ghostscript used to convert that PS into PDF. Definitely NOT a
good combination.
Is there any way that you can control this production process?!?!

Subject: Re: [iText-questions] Unreadable Pdf with PdfTextExtractor
Thank to both of you.
You are right: when coping to text there is nothing but random characters
because the font (namely the differences array) is wrong.
But I have discovered why is wrong: the character g3 in the vector , for
instance, means the Ascii code 29+3=32 which is an space. All characters
follow the same patern gnn (the letter g followed by an integer). the Ascii
code is always 29+nn
Therefore I made a little program that edits the pdf, gets the differences
array, compute the right caracter and then rebuilds the array back. Now I
can read the pdf, once is beeing rebuilt in this fashion.
I know I should not spend so much time correcting somebody else's mistakes,
but I receive plenty of pdf like this...
