Can you try using ExtractPageText(3) or ExtractPageText(7) to see if the text is extracted correctly.  Option 0 is a very fast extraction method but it is not aware of font encodings.

In QPL 8.xx we have added option 8 which outputs the text using the same format as option 0 but can handle various font encodings and mappings.

Hi. I'm using v.7.26 under Delphi XE to extract from different charset PDF files (usually with accentuation characters). Usually the "ExtractFilePageText" with option 0 reads accurately, but for some older PDF files the accentuated characters are extracted wrongly. Is there a way to prevent this? Can you provide some sample code?

Thanks!
