Hello! Diacritical marks are not displayed after copying text from PDF and pasting into Word (i.e. there is a instead of ą, n instead of ń, % instead of z). PDF font - Times-Roman. I can't deal with it :cry: Change something in the settings? Overdubbing a font? Need some conversion? Please help!

Some characters in Word can be replaced almost automatically through the Find and Replace function or something similar, select find the % character, then replace with the z character and choose to replace all characters in the text. Unfortunately, this method will not work with the automatic change of a to ą because all the letters a will be converted to ą.

Normally Adobe uses its own set of fonts and that's just what ends up being a simple copy. You would need to have the full (paid) version of Adobe Acrobat or look for a free .PDF editor that supports it export file to a different format. Another option is to scan a .PDF file and save it as .DOC or at least .RTF. Most of the scanners are equipped with such programs.
