empty text and no tables from PDF which shows content in Adobe Acrobat Reader

[woklenk]

Hello, I try to get the text and tables from PDF documents, not only this one here from JP authority
https://www.mlit.go.jp/report/press/content/001750315.pdf
which are shown by Adobe Acrobat Reader. But PyMuPDF shows me a empty text and no tables.

What is going wrong? Can somebody help?

There exists no text on the page.
What you se are drawings / vector graphics, constructed in a way that only looks like text.
Your only option is OCR.

ok and thank you. I had already suspected something like that, but I couldn't extract an image / vector graphics either.....

[JorjMcKie]

Oh, you can extract vector graphics of course: every character is written as one.

ok, thanks, I have to try this again
