Using pdftotext on the attached file results in Turkish characters (ı,ş,ğ and such) becoming garbled. Using splash API is resulting in the same problem so I guess its an internal Poppler issue.

Adobe can't extract the text correctly either so i'm leaning to the file being faulty
Comment 3 İsmail Dönmez 2009-07-23 06:58:00 UTC 
How do you extract with Adobe btw? The file for sure might be faulty, is there any way to debug what might be wrong with the file?

Thanks!

File -> Save as Text ;-) That was easy

Probably the font mapping/encoding is not correctly set

Yeah looks like they didn't use CP1254 but some other latin variant. Interesting bug (on the pdf creator side) :-)
