Weird charcters parsed from pdf,

[LCD344]

I've been trying to get the text from a file like this https://pdonline.brisbane.qld.gov.au/masterviewui/cache/VvxFDshJTm.pdf

and all the text I am getting is weird "�" characters - I tried utf8 decode but it didn't work. Is there anything to do about this?

Try #257 PR maybe it's fixed there.

The linked PDF is no longer available, and Brisbane City Council seems to be so strict about who may access their data under which conditions, that I didn't even dare to accept their terms/disclaimer from abroad in order to get another PDF from there. 😅
Unless @LCD344 would like to provide a working PDF to test this 5 years on... I'd suggest that this issue should be closed.
