Description
I am new to pdf2json and I really love it. I am reading with this tooling a travel brochure reading the text to find some important data. It works fine after a certain page, after that the UTF8 character conversion seems to be broken. Lower case letter become Upper case meaning there is a x'20 offset and capital letters are x'10 offset.. I am using the loadPDF function and read the JSON afterwards.. Any hints... thanks much for this great tool. It does exactly what I need, beside this problem.

Research direction
Start at the loadPDF entry point and compare the JSON text before and after the page where character conversion changes. Reproduce the reported lowercase-to-uppercase and capital-letter offset behavior with the travel brochure, then verify that decoded characters remain correct after that page.
