Text encoding problem?

I have the need to obtain the exit in XML that offers TaggedPdfReaderTool. ConvertToXml

I found a problem with some of them that have accents.

For example, the word

'Número' changes to 'N*famero'

'Página' changes to 'p*e1gina'

...

On the other hand, if the same PDF is managed to iTextSharp.text.pdf.parser. ITextExtractionStrategy,

GetResultantText returns the whole text correctly.

What do I need to do to get the text in such XML and strategy.GetResultantText returns?

Thank you in advance.

Text encoding problem?

Hello!

I need the XML that I get from TaggedPdfReaderTool. ConvertToXml
I found a problem with some of them that have accents, I get de XML without accents amd some wrong words.
For example, the word:
'Número' changes to 'N#famero'
'Página' changes to ' p#e1gina'
...
..

On the other hand, if the same PDF is managed to iTextSharp.text.pdf.parser. ITextExtractionStrategy,
GetResultantText returns the whole text with accents correctly.
What do I need to do to get the text in such XML (TaggedPdfReaderTool. ConvertToXml ) as strategy.GetResultantText returns?

Thank you in advance.

Re: Text encoding problem?

hi!

I've uploaded the pdf "problem.pdf"

- my code to get the whole pdf text with accents and the letter "ñ" is:
Dim reader As PdfReader = New PdfReader(pdfByte)
Dim strategy As parser.ITextExtractionStrategy
For i As Integer = 1 To reader.NumberOfPages
strategy = parser.ProcessContent(i, New iTextSharp.text.pdf.parser.SimpleTextExtractionStrategy)
Dim sResult As String = strategy.GetResultantText
Next

- my code to get the XMl that has incorrect words with accents,.. is:
Dim reader As PdfReader = New PdfReader(pdfByte)
Dim parser As New iTextSharp.text.pdf.parser.PdfReaderContentParser(reader)
Dim ms As New System.IO.MemoryStreamproblem.pdf
ms.SetLength(0)
Dim info As New parser.TaggedPdfReaderTool
info.ConvertToXml(reader, ms)
IO.File.WriteAllBytes("Z:\usr\JM\bustia\pdf\problem.pdf.xml", ms.ToArray)

Thanks!
