• bzimport set Reference to bz34540.

• bzimport added a subscriber: Unknown Object (MLST).

Possibly the text needs to be transcoded during extraction; not sure how this is presently handled.

(in which case this may belong to PdfHandler ext)

That is definitely not a Proofread extension bug. I am changing the component field to PdfHandler.

On my local installation it works fine - the text is correctly encoded. I suspect this is configuration issue on WMF servers.

The pdftotext command on my system is provided by poppler 0.18.4.
