Copy text from a PDF to word. Just get Symbols

Post by afsrj »

Hello,

I have a public PDF with no Copying Restrictions. When I try to copy text from the PDF highlighted text to WORD I only get unreadable garbage.
I can select the desired text and copy it into word but when I paste the text it is pasted like symbols and lines.

Code: Select all

Vamos nos ater a várias situações para discutirmos todas as formas de
energia que podem agir sobre o organismo, gerando os tais traumas.
Temos uma definição, um conceito do que seria a Traumatologia Forense:
É a parte do Medicina Legal que estuda os traumas, as lesões e os
instrumentos (agentes) vulnerantes.
A Traumatologia Forense estuda os aspectos médico-jurídicos das
lesões causadas pelos agentes lesivos.
Podemos dizer também que Trauma é o resultado da ação vulnerante que
possui energia capaz de produzir a lesão.

Hello Sebastien,
Thank you for the post. Can you please send us the original unedited PDF so that we can test this issue here? You can post it to this forum directly.
Thanks!
If posting files to this forum, you must archive the files to a ZIP, RAR or 7z file or they will not be uploaded.
Thank you.

PDF-XChange Editor V7 seems to have a problem with the embedded font subsets.

When trying to remove embedded fonts via "Save as optimized", the fonts do not appear in the list.

Must probably be a bug ...
