Sometimes a PDF is made with fonts that don't use normal character coding. So that, perhaps A is in the position normally used by ! and B is in the position normally used by A. And so on. In such cases the fonts are always embedded. This means you aren't doing something wrong, but it just isn't possible to extract text. Aandi Inston
