Can't seem to save non-English as text from PDF using Reader

I have several PDF documents that were originally generated by OpenOffice from a UTF8-encoded text file. The text is in different languages, e.g. Korean, Arabic, Russian, English. When I open these documents and then "save as text", the resulting text files contain garbage or nothing at all in all cases except for English. Is it possible to extract non-English text from a PDF document using Reader? If not, is there a different product that could be used for this purpose? Thanks much!

They're using fonts that you don't have on your system so no, it isn't possible with Reader.

    Hi Yamini,
    I think this happens when you look at utf-8 in Windows wiith another character set. I've noticed that the XML file (and hence the PDF output) displays those characters when I preview reports on the BI desktop, but the output from the server is fine, so I don't worry about it.

  • Why can't I paste exact form of the text from pdf document?

    Dear List Members,
    I have a pdf document - it's scientific paper, containing some Fortran codes. I wanted to copy these codes into text file, in order to compile them and run. But after pasting, some characters are not copied in exact form. For example: "0" (digit zero) is pasted as "O" (big O character), letter "I" (big "I" character) is pasted as "1" (digit 1), etc. Finally I have to manually check the listings, what is very irritating and even this way I can't eliminate all the errors of this kind.
    What is the reason of this situation? The source pdf document contains text. I used Acrobat, Acrobat Reader and AABBY Pdf Transformer.
    Any help?
    Regards,

    P.S. I wanted to add this source pdf document to this post, but I don't know how to do it :-( Is there any option for it?

    Thank you very much for your answer.
    I posted this file here: http://www.4shared.com/office/KdDf2e63/p133-kimbler.html
    It's 20-pages long document. The text I want to copy is on pages 148-151 (computer listing), according to the page numbering in this document.
    May someone look at this file?

  • How do I convert a file located in my e-mail from PDF to Word.  I can't seem to save it in my word files.

    How do I convert a file located in my e-mail (that is secured) from PDF to Word.  I can't seem to save the PDF file anywhere.

    Hi williamf,
    For starters, please try triple-clicking in the Word document where you want to edit the text (sometimes, that's what it takes to select text in Word). If that doesn't work, I'd be interested in hearing more about the PDF file that you converted and the method that you used to convert it. For example, how was the PDF created (and by what app)? Did you convert via Adobe Reader (what version) or via the ExportPDF website?
    If you can tell us more about the file, we should be able to get to the bottom of things.
    Best,
    Sara

  • My MacBook pro mid 2012 doesn't seem to have a "save as" function, so I can't seem to save multiple page pdf's together after moving thumbnails into the sidebar. It only saves the first page. I can't figure out the rename function either. Help?

    My MacBook pro mid 2012 doesn't seem to have a "save as" function, so I can't seem to save multiple page pdf's together after moving thumbnails into the sidebar. It only saves the first page.
    I do have a 2008 version of Microsoft Office installed to save money, but that shouldn't affect things. I can't figure out the "rename" function either. Help?

    Oh, and I also reset my NVRAM, my computer hasn't frozen again yet, so I'm not sure if it has made a difference.

  • When I try to import pictures from another catalog, I cannot access my RAW pictures.  I can only seem them as non supported what do I do to import?

    When I try to import pictures from another catalog, I cannot access my RAW pictures.  I can only seem them as non supported what do I do to import?

    Sorry for the long delay.  I have Windows 8.1  and using Lightroom 5.7  I have organized my unedited RAW format photos in files on my hard drive in folders in My documents/pictures.  Once I edit them I move them to another folders on a separate drive and discard the rejects.
    When trying to access my documents by selecting .File - Import from another catalog- my documents/ pictures; I see the folders, however when I select it, it says No items to match your search  When using the drop down menu on the lower right I can only see the images if I click on "all files" and when I click on the image I want to import,  it says "Lightroom cannot import this catalog; "The catalog does not appear to be a valid Lightroom catalog"
    All of this happend when I loaded a Cannon Pro 100 printer plug-in.  I tried to disable the plugin, but It is still happining and cannot access the images.

  • Handling Non English language characters in PDF output

    Hi All,
    We have a requirement wherein we have to display an existing Smartform output in a PDF format.
    We have used OTF to PDF conversion and displayed the PDF output in a container.
    The issue is if certain characters are of non english language then the PDF is displaying these characters as special symbols.
    The following string is getting dispalyed in the SmartForm as follows:
    ОРЕНБУРГАВТОРЕМСЕРВИС_ 
    The same string is displayed as follows in the PDF form :
    Any pointers on how to handle such cases would be highly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.
    regards
    Chaitanya

    Before calling the smartform, use the FM 'SSF_GET_DEVICE_TYPE' and get  the device type based on the language.
    For eg:
      CALL FUNCTION 'SSF_GET_DEVICE_TYPE'
        EXPORTING
          i_language = l_langu
        IMPORTING
          e_devtype  = lwa_output_options-tdprinter.
    Then you need to build the other control parameters like this:
    Build control parameters.
      lwa_control_parameters-getotf  = c_charx.
      lwa_control_parameters-device = 'PRINTER'.
      lwa_control_parameters-preview = ''.
      lwa_control_parameters-no_dialog = c_charx.
      lwa_output_options-tddest = 'LOCL'.
    Pass this lwa_output_options & lwa_control_parameters to output_options & control_parameters respectively in the Smartform FM.
    This should ideally solve this issue.

  • HT1657 Hi, at the moment I can only seem to watch a rented movie once - previously I used to be able to watch it as many times as I liked during the 48hr window.  Anyone else have this problem?

    Hi, at the moment I can only seem to watch a rented movie once - previously I used to be able to watch it as many times as I liked during the 48hr window.  Anyone else have this problem?

    This doesn't seem right.
    I paid for a rental and downloaded an HD movie, Avatar. I could start watching within about a minute, it played without skipping a beat.
    My wife started watching the movie the next night and got about half way through.
    The next day, she tried watching the rest, and selected the film and clicked on "resume watching".
    But instead of streaming and playing like it should, we got the spinning wheel of death followed by a message "Ready to play in 1 minute" which soon became "Ready to play in 2351 minutes"!
    Additional information that I can add is that it was Sunday afternoon which is peak time for internet usage and I'd just exhausted my data allowance before the speed limiting kicks in. Basic internet using browsers at that time was really slow.
    So it was as though the movie we were going to resume watching was going to be downloaded from the iTunes Store again, and since my connection had been speed limited, it was going to take forever. I thought you downloaded a rental to your hard drive and it deleted itself after it expired? So any subsequent streaming to AppleTV would be coming direct from your hard drive. It shouldn't have been affected by the speed of my internet connection at that time, surely. Anyone else experienced this?
    Actually, I just noticed this post, I'm sure it's related...:http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12398832&#12398832

  • I can't seem to make n actual phone call from my phone.  I dial the number, and at the other end it rings, and the person knows it is me trying to call... but on my end of the phone is nothing at all.  Why is that?

    I can't seem to make an actual phone call from my iPhone 4S.  I dial the number, and the phone at the other end rings.  But at my end there is nothing.  No ringing.  No person trying to talk to me.  What is causing this problem?  I have got all of the current updates loaded to my phone.

    My brother had a similar problem and he went to the Apple store and they gave him a new one under warrenty...she said something about the arial, I would give it a go.

  • Can an iPad with iMessage enabled receive a text from an iPhone that has iMessage DISabled?

    Can an iPad with iMessage ENabled receive a text from an iPhone that has iMessage DISabled?

    A "non-iMessage-enabled text) would be an SMS message. iPads do not handle these and they do not go through an Apple server to be "converted". SMS is a function of a cellular carrier, not Apple.

  • Can't open pdf using Reader X

    I have a pdf file that was created by Page Manager version 7.15.35.  I am unable to open this pdf when using Reader X; Reader opens but I get a blank dialog; no error message is produced.  I tried turning off Protected Mode bu that made no difference.  If I uninstall Reader X and install Reader 9.3 then I am able to open the pdf successfully.  I am able to open other pdfs using Reader X.  My only problem is with a pdf created by Page Manager 7.15.35.
    Can anyone suggest a solution?
    Thanks

    Thx, Stix.  Upgrading to 4.0 apparently solved the issue.
