Hi Christian,

I won't be able to send you the sample file as I am an intern and not allowed to share confidential data. I will ask for the permission and let you know.

I also want to include that I got around this issue with https://github.com/smalot/pdfparser

I had to convert my PDF 1.7 down to 1.4 from https://packagist.org/packages/xthiago/pdf-version-converter

Finally, I gave up and created my own pdftotext utility using shell.

from pdftotext.

Hi Apurva,

First, thanks for your feedback.

I perfectly understand that you cannot share confidential data. Maybe you
have the possibility to generate such a pdf document with anonymous (dummy)
data inside ?

Also, I suppose that you tried the last version (1.2.47) ?

Is your shell utility working ?

With kind regards,

Christian.
