Posted in: #AdobeIndesign #Character #DocumentSetup #HowTo #Pdf

I'm trying to copy text from a Vietnamese language PDF into inDesign and many characters are incorrectly copied.

For example, this is the correct text:

PHỞ ÐẶC BIỆT

This is what it's pasted as:

PHª ñ¥C BIOET

What's the most effective and reliable method for copying and placing this text into InDesign?

I realize that I may not be able to do this completely automatically. Anything that would speed up the process of copying large amounts of text with special characters would help.

: Pdf output looks different when exported from InDesign vs CorelDraw? I have created a design in CorelDraw. While publishing it to PDF, it gets washed out. That might be due to some color management

You need to:

start w/ a .pdf which has the characters encoded using Unicode (check document properties)
have the font in InDesign set to one which has those characters at the same Unicode slots

Then it'll ``just work''.
