Does anybody know how to extract text from that PDF:

https://www.healthnet.com/static/general/unprotected/pdfs/national/policies/hiv_antiretroviral_drug_resistance_testing_sep_07.pdf - https://www.healthnet.com/static/general/unprotected/pdfs/national/policies/hiv_antiretroviral_drug_resistance_testing_sep_07.pdf

All my tests fail with that file...

Hi!

The pdf is made with a very old ghostscript-library-version:
GNU Ghostscript 7.05
Starting from version 8.15 there's no problem. Before you can do the rendering but the extraction won't work. You should post this document to the official Denebu-support-page.

Cheers, Ingo
