Text parsing returns garbage

Hello,

I've tried to parse this PDF from the samples/bugs folder of the repo.

Using the code you provided :

$parser = new \Smalot\PdfParser\Parser();
$pdf = $parser->parseFile($file);
return $pdf->getText();

I got this :

24
$/*\(0\(1

Which is obviously wrong. Am I missing something (encoding) ? Or is this a bug from the library ?

Thanks !

Reproduce the report using the PDF linked in the issue and the sample location samples/bugs, starting with Parser->parseFile() and getText(). Compare the extracted output with the document’s visible text and investigate whether the character encoding is handled correctly. Done means the document produces readable text or the limitation is clearly confirmed and covered by an appropriate regression check.
