Research direction

Start by reproducing the failure with the linked DOC082_2014.pdf document and compare its output with a document that parses correctly. Trace the PDF parsing entry point to determine why no text is produced; done means the document yields recognized text without breaking existing PDF parsing behavior.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
