Code

Getting only partial text using gettext
echo $pdf->getText();

Shows all the text but in random order

$objects = $pdf->getObjects();
foreach ($objects as $key => $object) {
        echo $object->getText();
}

Start by reproducing the report with sample.pdf and the PHP 8.3/PDFParser 2.11 setup, comparing getText() with the getObjects() loop. Trace how getText() assembles page content and how object order is handled. Done means extracting the document's full text in the expected page and reading order rather than returning only headings or randomly ordered text.
