Some PDF files produce garbage ("mojibake") when you copy text. This makes it impossible to search them (whatever you search for will not match the garbage). Does anyone have an easy workaround?
An example: TEAC TV manual EU2816STF
BTW: I am using Adobe Reader - perhaps an alternative viewer might help?
