  I do not have a Kindle, so I cannot test any solution. On saving PDF's, there is an option to include all font into the document (bigger file), only the used characters, or none of it (smallest file, relies on the system to provide the fonts).
  
  I expect that if you edit the PDF and save it with the font definition included, it will work - provided Kindle can read and use fonts from inside the PDF.
  
  With this solution, the file remains searchable - unlike saving the file as a series of pictures.

  Try loading the text into a PDF viewer that lets you print the PDF *as a PDF image*, e.g. the free [PDF-XChange Viewer](https://www.tracker-software.com/product/pdf-xchange-viewer).

  Alternatively, install the needed Khmer fonts on the Kindle. If you open the PDF in a text editor, you should see, *somewhere* in the docuiment, any special fonts it uses.
