Description
Is it possible to extract graphics like this one from a PDF?
Images work just fine, I can't seem to figure out how to extract this.
Upon printing the type of objects from this PDF, all I get is: Smalot\PdfParser\PDFObject, Smalot\PdfParser\XObject\Form, Smalot\PdfParser\Font\FontType1 and Smalot\PdfParser\Encoding.
I'm assuming this was created using LaTeX but I'm not sure.
