Description

I encountered an issue while using the Docling CLI (version 2.36.1) to convert a PDF to Markdown. I ran the conversion on the following PDF:
` https://intra.ece.ucr.edu/~rlake/Whitesides_writing_res_paper.pdf`
with the following command:
```bash
docling https://intra.ece.ucr.edu/~rlake/Whitesides_writing_res_paper.pdf
```

The generated Markdown file contains encoded strings like:
```
/C87/C104/C101/C110
```
These appear to be ASCII character codes. When I manually convert these codes to characters, the result is actually a correct Markdown version of the PDF’s content.
