The code snippet in your message contained collected no text and printed no
text. Thus, I assume, that code did not produce the output.

The code in the attached project, on the other hand, collects and outputs
text from the accompanying PDF. It first does a funny conversion, though:

(Encoding.UTF8.GetString(ASCIIEncoding.Convert(Encoding.Default,
Encoding.UTF8, Encoding.Default.GetBytes(text))))

Such a conversion should not be necessary if the text from the PDF can be
properly read.

Here is your actual problem, though: The PDF does not seem to contain the
correct information for text extraction at all, just try to do it using
Adobe Acrobat (which is quite good at text extraction), for me it returns
assorted symbols only.

Therefore, I'm afraid for PDFs like the one given you either have to resort
to a custom extraction routine with a very special byte to text conversion,
or you have to use OCR.
