Extracts text with spaces after each character

[1vank1n]

Hello @Utkarsh212 ! Thanks for the react-pdftotext. It works great 99% of the time. But I got a strange extraction with some pdfs. I attached one as an example.

The result of the extraction looks like this:

T h e   a c c e p t s   2 0   r e q u e s t s   p e r   s e c o n d ,   b u t   f u r t h e r   s e n d i n g   i s   d i s t r i b u t e d   o v e r   t i m e   t o   s m o o t h   o u t   t h e   l o a d   a n d  n o t   e x c e e d   t h e   A P I   l i m i t s   o f   t h e   m e s s e n g e r .  @ P l a t f o r m  I s   t h e r e   a   l i m i t   o n   t h e   n u m b e r   o f   o p e n   c h a t s   p e r   ? @ C o m p a n y  T h e r e   a r e   n o   l i m i t s   o n   o p e n   c h a t s .

Do you have any idea how to fix this?

Hi @1vank1n , Thank you for your feedback and for using react-pdftotext! I'm glad to hear it works well for you most of the time.

I've observed the issue you mentioned with the above example.pdf file and have some findings. To address this problem effectively, I need a bit more information from you:

• Could you provide additional example files where the package failed to extract text correctly?
• Could you share the font family used in the attached example.pdf?
