The problem PDF users find that some characters get changed when you open PC-created PDFs on the Mac, even though this isn’t supposed to happen, according to Adobe. In fact, if all goes according to plan, it doesn’t happen; PDF does an extraordinary job of preserving PC encoding on the Mac. Networks: Data Encoding 6. All advanced modems use a combination of modulation techniques to transmit multiple bits per baud. Multiple amplitude and multiple phase shifts are combined to transmit several bits per symbol. QPSK (Quadrature Phase Shift Keying) uses multiple phase shifts per symbol.

I have Arabic PDF Files and it seems that there are something wrong in its encoding .

When I try to search in the PDF for word inside it , it didn't find results

when I try to export the pdf contents to Excel using other programs it export data in a strange encoding

When I copy the data in the PDF to notepad , Notepad display strange encoding.

I am developing solution which will use these PDFs (about 950 file) so I must found a way to fix encoding.

Thanks in Advance

Disclaimer: I've never edited an Arabic file.

How did you export the .pdf contents to Excel?

You cannot directly open a .pdf file neither with Word/Excel/Wordpad nor Notepad,that strange encoding you're seeing most probably is the specific encoding of a selected font resource.

You can use this thistool to detect the encoding

but I really advise you to read the bare minimum aboutUnicode and Character Sets

From then on, considering the amount of files involved, a good solution seems to be PyODConverter

For a smaller amount of files,Free PDF to Word Converter will take care of your needs:
