Research direction
Start by reproducing the reported unreadable output from a Japanese PDF and inspect the PDF text-extraction path; the issue names no source file or test. Done means Japanese text is extracted legibly without regressing existing PDF parsing, with a regression test covering the reported encoding case.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
