Hello,
I am using Adobe Reader 9.0 and I have a PDF file where on copying the text and pasting it in notepad or any other software, gives junk characters. I checked the security settings of the document, it says content copying,extracting pages are allowed. So can anyone tell me why this is happening and How I can possibly extract the content. We have to get this content from the PDF file somehow, so any help will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks
Srijanani
