Using Quick PDF, I am not able to extract the russian text from pdf pages. All text in PDF use Type1 Embedded fonts.

Thanks

Hi Alexey,
sorry... perhaps my questions help...
Perhaps it have to do with the/a codepage?
No russian text can be extracted from all pdf-files...?

What about codepage? My windows have default codepage Win-1251. Russian text can be extracted from some pdf files where truetype fonts used, but not from pdf files with only Type1 fonts

Hi!
I think that's it...
TrueType is better supported from quickpdf than other fonts...

Hi!

Ok. Do you know another tools or libraries which can extract non-latin characters correctly? Or may be some methods to replace fonts in pdf?

Thanks for help

Sorry... perhaps you can try iText (the open source library for pdf-files. Written as a .net- and java-version).
