For the italic strings in Documents (.docx/.doc), the PageText is returning by chunking the string into characters instead of String/word.

The scenario is something like below:

In our application, we upload a doc/docx with italic fonts and convert to pdf using the aspose library. Then our application will perform highlighting for some specific words like URL, IPADDRESS etc in the converted pdf. The rendering of the pdf is perfectly fine with the italic fonts. However, the find function in the icepdf is not working for italic words. It returns 0 results for the find for italic words. Eventually, our application can't perform the highlight as it could not find the words. But, noticed the icepdf PageText is returned as characters array for the italic fonts i.e. www.google.com will return as PageText : w,w,w,.,g,o,o,g,l,e,.,c,o,m instead of www,.,google,.,com. This is ths issue. Please suggest what might be causing this. Your help is highly appreciated.
