Why some parts of PDF document are replaced by
strange characters in plain text output?
Sometimes when fonts are embedded or subset within a PDF, the original font
information is lost and the text is corrupted. Although PDF Acrobat or Reader
will still display correctly, the correct text information is not available.
In these cases PDF-to-Text failed to extract the correct text from your file.

Can PDF-to-Text extract text from scanned PDF
documents?
No, PDF-to-Text converter will only be able to extract text if it is available as text
within the PDF document. It will not perform optical character recognition
(OCR) procedure on scanned PDF document. However, if you use the free Paper
Capture plug-in from Adobe.com to perform OCR on your PDF document, you can
then use PDF-to-Text to convert the document it creates into plain text.
