I'm trying to extract the characters from page 41 of:
www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/i1040.pdf
However, using the attached, ExtractPageContentSorted.java, and the member
function, at_page, where:
reader was produced from:
www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/i1040.pdf
and pageNum was:
41
I only managed to produce the output shown in 2nd attachment,
i1040p41.txt. The characters shown in i1040p41.txt are nothing like
what appears on page 41 of i1040.pdf. Since the at_page member
function essentially does what Listing 15.27 in the book does:http://itextpdf.com/examples/iia.php?id=296 I had expected the charaters to come out OK. I also tried other text extractors: http://poppler.freedesktop.org/ which showed similar garbage characters. What can be done to *properly* extract the text characters from page 41 of i1040.pdf. TIA. -regards, Larry
