Great, thanks for checking/confirming. Not exactly an "error" (which I'd associate more with incorrect encodings) and more of a redundancy or quirk. Some PDFs (for reasons sometimes unknown), such as this one, write multiple instances of the same character. This is relatively rare, but common enough that it seemed worth adding the .dedupe_chars(...) method.

Have you tried using page.dedupe_chars().extract_text()? Some details on the dedupe_chars(...) method here: https://github.com/jsvine/pdfplumber?tab=readme-ov-file#extracting-text

Hmm, it solves the issues. Not sure how:
"Returns a version of the page with duplicate chars — those sharing the same text, fontname, size, and positioning (within tolerance x/y) as other characters — removed."

There was an error with the PDF?

Thank you :), is it possible to ask you about another 'interesting' case?

  • Its more a feature request, or something like that.
