ExtractText() return dinstinct words as a single one joi

Question

Hi everybody,I'm trying to read a PDF file generated by AutoCAD, wich contains texts, tables and geometry of course.Problem is, very far and separated words, like in a table cells, return as a single line with a single word, with all the characters joined together without separation between original words.Using Adobe PDF reader, every single word is easily selectable individually.Using isLayout parameter set to true does not make much difference. TextLines.Wordcollection contains the same result.The code is very simple, just load the PDF and extract text...Any advice would be greatly appreciated.MaxAttachment: 03_200000PE0107_e9ae0037.rar
