hi, i have a very wierd problem.

create a pdf from indesign CS2 (win XP). everything looks fine. but then: trying to copy text from the pdf to any other program (e.g. word, editor...) the upper and lower cases are mixed up.
some upper cases are ignored and transfered to lower cases. the first case in a sentence is an upper case and some upper case words remain, but some don't.

the fonts are on both machines installed and proper working.

where's the problem?
please don't tell me to copy the text directly from indesign, because we don't have indd on all computers.
is it an indesign or pdf bug?

thx in advance for your suggestions.
