Extraction of highlighted text fails

[kiran90429]

I'm getting the below result.

Highlights

• Page 1: (XXX: missing text!)

• Page 1: (XXX: missing text!)

• Page 1: (XXX: missing text!)

This indicates that the PDF text extraction failed to find any characters in the bounds of the highlight. I would suggest trying the pdf2txt.py sample program that's part of the pdfjam library, and see if that produces any output for the relevant text. If not, then it's a possible bug/limitation in pdfjam and should be reported there. If you do get text for this PDF from pdf2txt, then I can look into why we can't extract it if you updload the relevant PDF file.

Sure, Thanks for the Update. I will try that and update here.

Not sure why I wrote pdfjam above; I meant pdfminer!

Did you repro this with pdf2txt? Can I close this?
