getting weird characters for a simple date

[randomgambit]

Hello there!

Amazing package, really! I am using pdf_text on some old pdf and I am getting a strange output: April \u0001\u0002\u0002\u0003\n"

This should actually be April 2005 . Why is the parsing failing here? Is there something I can do?

Thanks!
