title: How to cut-paste from PDF with non-ASCII encoding?
body: <p>I have some PDFs and I am trying to cut and paste text they contain from Acrobat Reader into an HTML form. It seems that some of these files use (I suspect) unicode for text encoding, so when I try to paste into the HTML form (on firefox) I get the little boxes with hex chars in them rather than readable text.  The problem is not that the PDF has not been OCRed -- when I try to do that in Acrobat Pro it says it can't because the file already contains renderable text.  Is there any way to deal with this?  For example could I add some sort of javascript to the form that would do conversion?</p>
