PdfTextExtractor extracts blank text #1444
Description
Hello,
i am using the following versions in flutter and syncfusion_flutter_pdf :
flutter:3.13.6
syncfusion_flutter_pdf: ^23.1.38
I have the following issue that when i try to read the attached pdf file the pages are blank or mostly unreadable. This is my code for reading a specific page :
Future<Map<String, dynamic>> getPdfContent(String path,{pageIndex=1}) async{
PdfDocument document = PdfDocument(inputBytes: await _readDocumentData(path));
int pageCount = document.pages.count;
if (pageIndex < 0 || pageIndex >= pageCount) {
print("Error: Page index out of bounds!");
document.dispose();
return {'text': '', 'pageCount': pageCount};
}
PdfTextExtractor extractor = PdfTextExtractor(document);
// Since you're extracting from a single page, start and end page indices should be the same
String text = extractor.extractText(startPageIndex: pageIndex, endPageIndex: pageIndex);
document.dispose();
return {'text': text, 'pageCount': pageCount};
}
The provided code is working fine with other pdf files, am i doing something wrong and can this issue be resolved somehow?
Thank you for your time!
