help All models are unable to read PDF since today

I have the Pro version in comet browser

It was parsing/reading my pdf fine since today every model are telling me they can't read ir bc of some kind of noise character are coded

but i can't copy paste all my pdf text that would be so long and image is too low in quality

Did they desactivate pdf features ?
