Facing issue while extracting text from a pdf with checkboxes

[kalyankumarp]

Hi,

I am trying to extract text from a PDF that has check-boxes. I am getting "l" in place of checkboxes with both extract_text and extract_words methods. Can anyone please tell me how to ignore checkboxes while extracting text/words?

Thanks in advance.

Hi, and thanks for your interest in this library. The best strategy will depend on how, exactly, the checkboxes are implemented in the PDF. Can you share the PDF in question?
