Hello,
when i am copy from pdf file opened with preview app any text and paste to text file or anywhere is always wrong format is no more working it always looks like the attachment
iMac with Retina 5K display, macOS 10.15
Definitely something font-related (missing font or wrong encoding).
Do you have any other PDF reader (like Acrobat) to try?
If you open it with Chrome, can you copy/paste the text?
You can try to export again as PDF and try to copy from the exported PDF.

yes, the same problem
i make it with mac show image
Have you tried to paste in plain text?
So, if you paste in a Plain Text TextEdit document via ⌥⇧⌘V you still get the wrong text?
Do you mind sharing the affected PDF?
yes same and that is with any pdf what i am safe it over macos
The PDF you shared is about this thread, not the affected PDF.
yes it is with any pdf file i have make pdf from this site and is same issue
OK, I get the same results on my machine with your PDF.
How do you exactly make these PDFs? Which programs are involved/what workflow do you use?
I see that you are using Chrome. Try to save the PDF from Safari instead.
Just to complete my previous reply, there's a thread about PDF encoding issues "printed" in Chrome: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=108937
