Can't find objects using public API.

Hi
I am unable to find the objects in the pdf. I get 1 FPDF_PAGEOBJECT, which is a FPDF_PAGEOBJ_PATH object. This contains a filled path, but it should contain lines instead and probably a clip path.
I have attached the pdf.

Kind regards
Jens

Have you tried iterating through the FPDF_PAGEOBJ_PATH object to see
what it contains? FPDFPath_CountSegments(), FPDFPath_GetPathSegment(),
and friends are the relevant APIs there.

Yes. I get 1 object from FPDFPage_CountObjects, which is a FPDF_PAGEOBJ_PATH. This has fillmode FPDF_FILLMODE_ALTERNATE and has 26 segments, which are a starting point and then the rest are FPDF_SEGMENT_LINETO. This gives me a filled path.

Hi
I'm still not able to find the correct vectorized data. Can you reproduce it using the public API?
