No, it's not possible (short of OCR) as the software that produced this PDF
didn't encode any useful text information - only displayable glyphs.

Subject: [iText-questions] Itextsharp extact text
I'm trying to use
iTextSharp.text.pdf.parser.PdfTextExtractor.GetTextFromPage(reader, 1);
on the attached PDF but I don't get the text back, if I take the byte array and
look at the contents then
the text block is not not in ASCII form although all the co-ordinate structure
is correct eg anything between the () is not in ASCII form, how is it possible
to get the text from this pdf
thanks Paul
