Hey guys I have a pdf that id like to copy some text from but every time I try to copy/paste the text it comes up as the question mark squares even when I go to right click it the "search with Google" recognizes it as the same, this never used to happen. Any suggestions on what to do to remedy this?
I'm using a 2020 M1 MacBook Air.
Thanks!

Try your Own Document:
Start with printing this page as a PDF Document, and them opening it up. See if it then works.
Getting Around This:
If it is not working on these files, then try using software called OmniPage. It is scan-to-PDF software, and would be worth it, if these are not hundreds of pages. All you would need to do is print out this document, and then scan it with OnmiPage --- all would be saved as a PDF document or other options, and could fully editable as a MS Word Document.
