Wacky things with Adobe Reader / Acrobat Reader

    If I copy and paste the contents of an Acrobat document into, say, Notepad I find that the result isn't faithful. For example, this text was originally like the image:
    Adobe Reader 4.0 wrote:

    Original document here: http://www.rsa.ie/NEWS/upload/File/Driver%20Card%20Info%20Ver2%2031.07.pdf

    Other times ", " [comma space] is interpreted as "," [comma], hyphens appear and disappear and so on.

    Any ideas why?

    Not fixing the problem but try FoxIt Reader and see if it works. If it doesn't, you may be missing a font

    Notepad isn't made to deal with RTF documents which is what Adobe Acrobat is trying to give you. You have to use a word processor lilke Microsoft Word or WordPerfect.

    No I don't think its that. MS Word 2003 is having hte same problem as Adobe Reader 7.0

    What really worries me is things like the following:

    In the original PDF (using Adobe Reader 7.0), one sees one colon (":"). The same in MS Word 2003 and Notepad. In Adobe Reader 4.0, one see two colons.
