confused text after copying to clipboard

confused text after copying to clipboard
Mon, 28 Jan 2008 01:16:19 -080
Hello,

I have
WinXP SP 2
Adobe Reader 8.1.0

I have some pdf-documents from which I need to copy the text to the clipboard.
If I do so I get an error message "error occured..." but text is
copied. But the copied text is completely nonsense.
Example:
Original:
"In case of dispute the German wording is binding."
Copy:
"& 



'
%
#"

What can that be?
Has anyone a hint for me?
Thanks in advance.

Some PDF files have this problem.

Technically: the font does not contain a useful encoding which allows
the font glyph references to be mapped to a representation you can
use.

In simple language: in some PDF files, the text will always copy as
junk.

If you are making the PDF, you may be able to change the way you make
it. If it is already made, that's all.
