docs contain invalid chars
using JS sdk method paperDocsDownload({ doc_id, export_format: 'html' }) and certain character (m-dash, curly quotes) come thru as â.
The test document is here: https://paper.dropbox.com/doc/test-paper-doc-S7sSIlM2E0g6p3OXhhts4
Also the project I'm working on is here: https://github.com/bradoyler/paper2json
Thanks!
I was able to reproduce the issue. It looks like it is a matter of encoding it properly. You can do so like this:
new Buffer(doc.fileBinary, 'binary').toString()
I'll ask the team to look into whether or not the SDK should/can do that for you though.

Thanks! Can you share the rest of the problematic code though? Thanks in advance!- Greg-DBThe 'paper2json' GitHub link you shared is a 404 for me. (Perhaps it's not publicly accessible?)
In any case, can you share just the code snippet(s) needed to reproduce the 'â' issue?
When I download the data to an html file using `URL.createObjectURL(response.fileBlob)` the resulting html file shows the correct characters.- Greg-DBThe repo is available now, and it looks like you're running in node and not browser JavaScript like I was testing with. I'll try your code in node. Thanks!
