--- Comment #2 from Adrian Johnson <ajohnson at redneon.com> ---
The PDF is drawing the dots in the chart with the unicode character U+22C5 DOT
OPERATOR. If you have enough memory and patience the file will be successfully
processed. On my machine it takes 202 seconds and has peak memory usage of
2.7GB. The output file contains over 100,000 U+22C5 characters.

I recall a discussion a few years ago about improving the efficiency of the
text extraction:

I'm not sure what happened to those patches.
