> PDF snippet is being completely mangled by ExtractTextByArea.  Have a large PDF file where this is happening on every line.  
> Visually (and Acrobat) show the text:
> 12 Jun EP COPY WORKS LIMITED 503646200256 5637 3.70 11,252.49 OD
> However ExtractTextByArea comes up with:
> 12 Jun EP COPY WORKS LIMITED 503646200256 35 .6 70
> 11,
> 3 257 2.49
> OD
> So the first half of the string is ok, but starting at '5637' characters are skipped, other characters are inserted, completely mangled.
> FWIW I did dump the COSString's in PDFStreamEngine and the strings all show correctly, nothing unusual.
> Test file to be attached.
