PdfWithXForm.pdf was the example from the PR. I agree that There could be some issue with the address that may be a good one... I would propose you to replace it with 2201.00029.pdf that also includes XForms (This is why it was 0% before). Note that in this latest file some XForm images are missing inducing some warnings |
The highlight of the 2.1.0 release is the most massive improvement to the text extraction capabilities of PyPDF2 since 2016 🥳🎊 A very big thank you goes to [pubpub-zz](https://github.com/pubpub-zz) who took a lot of time and knowledge about the PDF format to finally get those improvements into PyPDF2. Thank you 🤗💚 In case the new function causes any issues, you can use `_extract_text_old` for the old functionality. Please also open a bug ticket in that case. There were several people who have attempted to bring similar improvements to PyPDF2. All of those were valuable. The main reason why they didn't get merged is the big amount of open PRs / issues. pubpub-zz was the most comprehensive PR which also incorporated the latest changes of PyPDF2 2.0.0. Thank you to [VictorCarlquist](https://github.com/VictorCarlquist) for #858 and [asabramo](https://github.com/asabramo) for #464 🤗 New Features (ENH): - Massive text extraction improvement (#924).

The main PR is #881 - my (Martin Thoma) contributions here are neglectable; full credit to @pubpub-zz . The reason for opening this PR was only to show a stylistic code change.
