(unknown charset) Re: PDF - Text Extraction File

I resonate with this interpretation.
There is a tool in Linux called pdftotext.  When I run the file through 
that tool not only does it get syntax errors related to  things like a 
dictionary, the resulting .txt file is actually blank.
There needs to be something for any program to read.
