I have a document(manual) which is probably encodede(Identity-H )
because when I copy text from that document to MSWord it turns to
another unknown front that I can not read . Any one know how to solve
that problem. I want to copy paste to save some printing.
Please help .

If it's less than two or three pages, retype it. If it's more, make
screen captures, assemble the images into a document (one per page),
make a PDF of the document, then OCR the document using the Acrobat
Capture plug-in or your favorite OCR software.

Lots of texts ..no typing possible .

Then convert it to images and OCR it, as I suggested. Another
alternative is to obtain the same font that was used in the original, in
which case the encoding should match.

Would it not be simpler and quicker to "print" the original PDF to an
image, and then run the new PDF through Paper Capture? That's what I
have done with good results.

Or use Iceni Gemini to re-map the fonts and extract the corrected text.
