I'm using the latest version of smalot pdf parser, and trying to use getDataTm on the attached PDF, but always return an empty array.
PDF input
Expected output & actual output
Code
include('vendor/autoload.php');
$config = new Smalot\PdfParser\Config();
$config->setDataTmFontInfoHasToBeIncluded(true);
// use config and parse file
$parser = new Smalot\PdfParser\Parser([], $config);
$pdf = $parser->parseFile('test.pdf');
$data = $pdf->getPages()[0]->getDataTm();
var_dump($data);

Research direction
Reproduce the report with vendor/autoload.php, the Parser and Config setup shown, and the attached test.pdf. Start at getDataTm() on the first parsed page and trace why it returns an empty array when setDataTmFontInfoHasToBeIncluded(true) is enabled. Done means the reported PDF produces the expected non-empty data.
