Hi,

I have a PDF doc which was initially created in QuarkXpress Passport 4.1
(K): LaserWriter 8.8.7
and then was converted to PDF with Acrobat Distiller 5 for Macintosh.

I don't have any contact deltails of the original author or the Quark file,
just the PDF.

I just want to copy certain text from the PDF to Word
so that I can add it to a document that I am writing.

In Document Properties/Fonts it shows the fonts used in the document and
they are all Emdebbed Subset, Type: Type 1 and Encoding Custom.

The text I want to copy is written with font MgHelveticaLight-Normal.

When I use the touch up text tool to edit the PDF using Acrobat Pro 6, in
the Permissions it says that No System font available and the Embed and
Subset options are both grayed out.

I have installed similar fonts to the one mentioned above in my system like:

MgHelvetica,Bold
MgHelveticaExta
Helvetica-Light

But whenever I try to change the font from the embedded subset to any of the
ones in the list above which are now installed in my system, I get the
following error message.

"The change to a different font was not done because the chosen font and the
font encodings in the document differ and could not be resolved."

So besides the fact that I can't edit the PDF, even when I try to copy text
to Word the text pasted looks nothing like the original. It look someting
like:


A?OAAEO?O>EUEUO? ?UO�UUE�IO? UE?EUO-?U?IO?, UUO UEIA>O UUO O?O>O ?E$U?AU�E
�??UO I$OUUO UE~ ?i<O�~. ??U? i� A>O�E U�?U??UOO� UO UEI�OUEI?UAUO $UAO
?U�U>OO?

which is not readable, unlike the original copied PDF text which is fine.

Any advice would be more than welcome since I urgently need to copy that
text to edit it.

Regards,
Thanos.
