Hi, Maybe the pdf creator tool is not generating a "fluid" text, in pdf has sections defined by objects, e.g. for "Medizin"
20 0 obj (Medizin) endobj However this can happen 20 0 obj (Me) endobj 21 0 obj (di) endobj 22 0 obj (zin) endobj See that, there are 3 text objects, the extraction tool can interprete that as 3 words. Check you pdf file to make sure that it's well-formed.
