Code

My code :
// Parse PDF file and build necessary objects.
$parser = new Parser();
$pdf = $parser->parseFile($pdf_file_name);
$config = $parser->getConfig();
error_log(' $config: '.print_r( $config, true ) );

$metaData = $pdf->getDetails();
error_log(' $metaData: '.print_r( $metaData, true ) );

$pages = $pdf->getPages();
$nb_pages = sizeof( $pages );
error_log('Number of pages : '.$nb_pages );

$text = $pdf->getText();
error_log(' $text: '.print_r( $text, true ) );

Reproduce the issue with the attached Releve_compte_31_10_2016-1.pdf using the shown Parser::parseFile() and getText() entry points. Inspect how this PDF's text is decoded and compare the returned characters with the document; done means the extracted text is readable without breaking existing PDF parsing behavior.
