Hello
When I convert a PDF that contains ligatures ("œ", "fi", "fl" ...), the ligatures disappear in the resulting text. For example, "cœur" becomes "cur".
Is there a solution or an option to resolve this problem?

Thank you very much

Hi,

I've had problem with ligatures but from documents written in German language. So far, I only had one sample in french showing ligatures and it worked fine.

However, there are so many ways in the PDF format to encode characters that my implementation may not be that complete.

One thing that could really be helpful to me is that you sent me your pdf file(s) at the following address :

christian.vigh@wuthering-bytes.com

That way, I will be able to check out what's happening and provide you with a solution.

With kind regards,
Christian.
