I have a PDF that opens fine in Adobe Reader XI. It displays fine, has no password, etc. I am attempting to save these to text for some automation work, but it isn't working.
When I go to File->Save As Other->Text
, save it as a .txt file it saves without error.
When when I view the txt file, it's unreadable. It has data like:
G+G+./,-&6H,GH7-&IE&
I can verify certain PDFs like from AT&T's website work fine with this, but the PDFs I have aren't working. Why is this, how can I convert these to plain text? They aren't password protected or the sort.
This was not OCR. I can highlight words, letters, etc.
I verified under "Security" on Properties:
Security Method: No Security
Can be Opened by: All versions of Acrobat
