Hello, all.
When I tried to read this file http://rec.gov.by/sites/default/files/pdf/Elections-PRB2015-itog1.pdf
I got only digits, but no letters.
I used following code:

import PyPDF2

reader = PyPDF2.PdfFileReader("Elections-PRB2015-itog1.pdf")
page = reader.pages[0]
print(page.extract_text())

Is it my mistake or bug?

Using PyPDF2==2.4.0, it seems to work. I'm closing this now - please let me know if you encounter issues with the latest version of PyPDF2.
