Extract PDF Page with italic text

["Hesham G." <he...@gmail.com>]

Hello ,

I am trying to extract text from a PDF that has some italic text. All the text is extracted fine, except for the italic text. It appears with strange spaces between them.
For example "Anthropology of Place and Space" is extracted as "Anthropology of Place and Space". I don't know what are those characters between the words.

Here is a 1-Page PDF sample to test it :
