When I copy/paste text in an Acrobat document made from Word i get unreadable text like this:

Πí=ÑΠêÉí~ÖÉíë=Ä~åâ®êÉåÇÉå=é™=fåíÉêJåÉíâçåíçêÉí=ÑΠêÉí~ÖI=ÇóÖåÉí=êìåí=çÅÜ=Ñê™å=îáäâÉå=Ç~íçê=ëçã=ÜÉäëíK=aì=äçÖÖ~ê=áå=ÉåâÉäí=çÅÜ=ë®

I use Palatino True Type in Word.

Any ideas?

My Product Information:
Acrobat Standard 7.0, Windows

You mean you made the pdf from a word document and the pdf came with those weird characters? Or you copied text from a word document and when pasting it in the pdf it became those weird characters?

Thanks, isaanderson. Neither.

I write a text in Palatino (TT) in Word and then either do print PDF or use the tool Convert to Adobe PDF in Word. In the newly created PDF document I copy text and paste it in a new Word document (same computer) and get the result above.
