About error in copying PDF file text contents

I've got a PDF text-copying problem. The PDF file is not protected, but when I copy its content to a text editor, they show as random codes rather than the text. And touchup text tool also fails to change the fonts. The fonts are all enbedded with "custom" encoding, but I don't have the fonts. How can I copy the text correctly? The PDF file goes here: [link=http://www.newsmth.net/att.php?p.612.68805.314.pdf]http://www.newsmth.net/att.php?p.612.68805.314.pdf[/link]

Re: About error in copying PDF file text contents

Hi --

Without the fonts you won't be able to copy the content correctly. In the document, the fonts are listed with Custom encoding, which has caused an issue in the conversion of the file content.

My experimenting with your file displayed an Acrobat message that the fonts are missing information needed to display the characters that correspond to the glyphs in the font. In other words, since Acrobat can't assign a character to a symbol, you see the pattern of boxes, lines, and so on.
