Actually I could read the document fine if I could do < file.pdf pdftotext | texttopdf > file.pdf
The only problem is there is no texttopdf command (that of course would restore all the extra structure.) I mean why can't there be a way to tell xpdf "please ignore any font hints, and just use the default for those code points". There must be some default stored somewhere. I mean I can extract the Chinese fine with pdftotext, it's just that xpdf is trying too hard to please me. Sorry, all I know is "Can't read anything scholarly anymore on Debian." Force to 1. Don't bother reading Chinese anymore. Or 2. Don't bother reading anything scholarly anymore. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
