I don't see this behavior with pdftotext 3.02.

The original may actually have space characters as a way to do faux
letter spacing.  What happens if you copy the text from the PDF file and
paste it into a text editor?

If I copy the text from the PDF file and paste it into a text editor the
text is correct ("2001").

I have installed the version 3.02 but the problem is not solved.

I have written a small perl-script that use "CAM::PDF" but the problem is
the same as with pdftotext (the output is "2 0 0 1").

I have another converter (written in java) that works ok (the output is
"2001").

If possible I prefer to find a working solution with perl.

Any help is appreciated.  Michelangelo
