Hi, I'v got a file from customer, using qp.GetPageText to get text, each word is repeat all char 3 times, and copy text from adobe reader is ok. Have any ideas?

Some PDF libraries use a Normal font and draw it 3 or 4 times at a small offset to simulate Bold font. This is the most likely reason for multiple repeated character.

You should try calling either/or

QP.SetTextExtractionOptions(7, 1);

and / or

QP.SetTextExtractionOptions(8, 1); or

Andrew.

The version I use is 8.16, seems this option 7 and 8 is new feature in 9.xx?
I 'v got another file, extract mess text like 'ÁÃÃÖäÕã âäÔÔÁÙè', the origin text is 'ACCOUNT SUMMARY', can be copy from adobe reader and that is OK.

can this be fix?

Thanks
