Sometimes when fonts are embedded or subset within a PDF, the original font information is lost and the text is corrupted. Although the PDF will still display correctly, the correct text information is not available. If you simply copy the text from the PDF and paste it into another application, you can see that the text is incorrect. When this happens, our software cannot recover the correct text from your file. Does Magellan extract form fields from PDF? No, Magellan does not currently extract PDF forms. If you need this functionality, please contact us for a custom solution.
