How can the garbled text problem be solved?

I am unable to read text copied from a PDF file when pasted into Mac-Word. They are appearing gabled as a series of ASCII characteres. I have tried with PDF OCR converter available in the Apps store, with no success. Even Acrobat-Pro could not convert the file. I have come to know that the problem lies with the file's font encoding and not with copying. Is there any solution to it?. I intend to upload the PDF file so that if anybody can convert that to Word. I badly need it.

If it is truly ASCII, you could try pasting it into TextEdit first, save it as a text file and then put it in Word?

I would like to know how to turn off the sent text sound

There is no settings for sent text under settings - sounds.
you option is to use the side control and put your phone on vibrate or lower the volume of your ringer.

Using Mavericks Spelling and Grammar in Pages document causes Pages to freeze. Must Force Quit. Mavericks spell checker works OK in Text and Emails. How can I fix this problem?

Using Mavericks' Spelling and Grammar in a Pages document causes Pages to freeze, Must Force Quit. How can I fix this problem?
Mavericlks Spelling and Grammar works in Pages when used manually. And it works automatically in Text and email.

Another autocorrect bug:
I type a lot of lyrics, which tend to cotain words like ’cause and ’em instead of because and them.
I've set up autocorrect instances to change a plain apostrophe with an ending, single curly quote for these words, but they are invariably changed to a beginning, single curly quote mark by Pages. The only way I can get the correct curly quote is to type over the wrong quote manually and hope that I don't have to edit the rest of the word again, as this would cause autocorrect to kick in again and change the quote to the wrong, beginning curly mark again.
Does anyone know how to get around this tedious problem?

HT1871 Hello i have one IPhone 4S and I use 3G net in my mobile sometime I have problem with temperature in my phone at the SIM card or battery how can I fix this problem. By update or version of 6.1.3

Hello i have one IPhone 4S and I use 3G net in my mobile sometime I have problem with temperature in my phone at the SIM card or battery how can I fix this problem. By update or version of 6.1.3

Could it be because the SIM card got damaged while I cut it to fit the IPhone?
Very likely. Hard to believe the carrier in Mexico doesn't have a micro-SIM card available.
Or somehow the Chinese carrier found out and locked it?
No, which is not possible.
What can I do? Get a new SIM and see if it works again?
Get a micro-SIM from the carrier in Mexico that you don't have to manually cut down. If that carrier doesn't provide one, switch to another carrier that is not so low-budget.

I have the same apple id e mail for both ipad2 and mac. it might be getting confuse now. I want to be able to face time also using my ipad2 to my laptop especially if one of the members of the family is traveling. Thanks.

thanks. your answer was correct, clearer. I have another question, maybe you can answer. I just purchase my ipad2 2 days ago. yesterday, there was a sound. today there is no sound. there is a sound only in movies and you tube and music. but no sound on all apps and keyboards. I look it up and seems like ther are few that have this problem. I called walmart coz I bought it there and they told me that they have not heard that before but if I can't fix it, just return it and exchange it with anew one since I have 14 days to do that. I tried rebooting it and still won't work. Should I just restore it?

The wi-Fi button on my IPhone 4S is greyed out and will not turn on and therefore I am not able to receive wi-fi. How can I fix this problem?

Follow the steps in the article below to try and resolve the issue:
iOS: Wi-Fi settings grayed out or dim
If after all the steps the issue remains I'd suggest to book an appointment at an Apple Retail Store to have your iPhone evaluated or contact AppleCare for assistance.
Hope this helps

Start by rebooting the computer. If that doesn't work, search for adobefnt*.lst and delete all instances where * becomes a 2-digit number.

Check Finderr->Preferences->General and ensure that HDs are selected for display. If so and they still don't, Reset the NVRAM/PRAM and Reset the SMC, and see if that does the trick.

Is this a pre-paid card thing? Or different billing address than your iTS account?
