Crystal Reports is one of the WORST PDF creation tools on the
market. It generates REALLY BAD PDF.

Hi iText team,
I have a pdf file (“01.pdf”) which created by Crystal Report. The
Acrobat Pro 7 shows it correct. Please see “Pdf file Fonts.JPG” and
“Pdf file Description.JPG” screenshots for more details.
The following C# code shows the extracted text (the attached
“Extracted Text.JPG” file):
PdfReader pdfReader = new PdfReader(@"C:\Temp\01.pdf");
PRTokeniser token;
StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder();
byte[] pageBytes = pdfReader.GetPageContent(1);
if (pageBytes != null)
{
token = new PRTokeniser(pageBytes);
while (token.NextToken())
{
if (token.TokenType == PRTokeniser.TK_STRING)
{
builder.Append(token.StringValue);
}
}
}
MessageBox.Show(builder.ToString());
Of course, the same code correctly extracts from pdf files which
are not created by Crystal Report.
I noticed that Acrobat does not save the pdf file as RTF or plain
text, I receive the attached “Acrobat Error.JPG” error message.
So can I extract the text with correct encoding from such pdf file
using iTextsharp?
Thanks in advance,
Artur Muradyan
