[Question] About end of file

[JCarlosR]

Hi. Thank you for create PHPDocumentParser.

I am using it in my project and the content is extracted right.

But always there are some strange characters at the end (for .doc files):

Do you have some idea to fix it?

[LukeMadhanga]

I will take a look as soon as. Could you send through the original doc please

[JCarlosR]

I only see those characters for .doc files.

I am attaching 2 files: Docs.zip

Thank you.

@JCarlosR This is going to take a little bit longer to investigate than I anticipated! I'll try to get back to you tomorrow! Thanks for the kind words by the way!

[LukeMadhanga]

@JCarlosR btw, as these docs are public, are you sure that you still want them up here, or are you okay with that?

[JCarlosR]

Don't worry, I have no problem with that. And thank you for your time.

@JCarlosR In your environment, do you have antiword installed? If you have the ability to install this, please do whilst I try and fix this the vanilla way

[JCarlosR]

@LukeMadhanga Yes. I have typed antiword in the cmd (I am using Windows) and it shows:

I have an Ubuntu vps and there, the extracted content also has the strange characters at the end. Thank you.
