How to make greek letters copiable in pdf files?

Ctrl-C will not copy the greek letters in the following pdf file. For example, if I select Lambda, then type ctrl-C, and ctrl-V to somewhere, I will get nothing pasted. Is there a way to modify the pdf so that greek letters can be copied? Thanks.

For normal windows fonts you right click on the font file and there should be an option to install it. I am not sure if it copies the font to the font folder or it is best to move it there first. As far as embedding so it can be copied, that will not help. The MTMI font is embedded in your PDF. The Times New Roman fonts are not. I embed all fonts used as subsets. However, to copy the font to WORD or such and make it useful, you have to have the font on your system, not just embedded.
From the instructions I read, you have to have more than the tfm file. I think the vf file is the font file. That is not the actual font file. There are some instructions at the site I already pointed to. I would check at the site where you are getting the font. I would just have to search to find the instructions for the file. They would help you for working with the font on your system, but would not do the other aspect you wanted of helping others. As I indicated, the font has to be installed locally to enable proper copying. The fonts files are not copied from the PDF.
Since my original question can not be solved unless I get the font installed in my system (but I can't). Let me change my question a bit.
How to search for such a greek letter \Lambda in this pdf file? Is there a walkaround? Is there a tool can help replace the font of \Lambda by something available in my system?

    Hi drredwood,
    When you open your PDF file a yellow bar will appear on the top of the screen.
    Click on 'Enable All Features'.
    Then you will be able to copy the content from your pdf and to paste in any of the file.

  • How to make only part of a PDF document editable?

    I'm looking to see if there is a way to make only part of a PDF document editable. My problem is, I have pieces of collateral that some of our channel partners need to be able to add their logo to and then edit the contact information on them, but we don't want them to be able to change any of the main copy on these documents. The only thing I've been able to come up with as a solution is to create outlines of the text that I don't want editable, but I need the copy to be able to be read by computer systems for disability purposes. Does anyone have any ideas on something I could do for this? Or has anyone dealt with anything like this? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Hi vward26,
    You can use Acrobat to make only part of a PDF document editable.
    Kindly refer this FAQ:http://tv.adobe.com/watch/acrobat-x-tips-tricks/how-to-convert-just-part-of-a-pdf-file/

    It could be as simple as clipping an image of the fabric of your choice, to a text layer.
    In this example the Hessian texture was downloaded from Google images, and placed over a Type layer.  You then Alt (Opt) click the intersection of the Type and Hessian layer to clip them together.  This just means that only the shape of the underlying layer will show in the clipped layer.

  • How do I mass protect about 200 pdf files in a directory without opening them individually?

    How do I mass protect about 200 pdf files in a directory without opening them individually? I have Adobe Acrobat X Pro.
    They can all have the same password.
    Any ideas?

    If they can all have the same password, just make 200 copies of the protected file in your operating system...
    Edit: I think I misread your initial post. If the files are not identical, you can use an Action to encrypt all files using the same password.

  • How to programmatically add rectangle to a pdf file ?

    How to programmatically add rectangle to a pdf file ?
    There is several page pdfs, non-vector, black and white.
    Users are color blind and have disabilities.
    To train them, one adds a rectangle at a certain lower-left point and width,height specified for a page.
    The idea is to give the script the page and coordinates and size of rectangle to be added programmatically. Green rectangles are acceptable as the cones are most sensitive there.
    Also, additional feature to add bookmarks on the left in the order these rectangle data is provided to the script.
    The script could be "hard-wired" by a list of the rectangle coodinates, and page number, pasted inside acrobat and run or entered into acrobat in some way.
    Your script would help many disabled people who are distributed through out the world.
    Feel free to contact me by email if you wish.
    Dying Vets

    P.S.
    This rectangle does not have to be a full annotation rectangle which needs user,date and a lot of info.
    Something minimal like this would suffice
    1 0 0 RG % red for stroke color
    200 300 50 75 re
    As you can see that the native unit of the pdf file is the "point" having 72 in an inch.
    The file dpi would be given. However, one could assume that pixel for the rectangle lower-left and width/height are given.
    From the pixels and dpi, the points could be calculated if desired.
