I use PDF creator to save on paper and becasue I do not have a printer. I have print documents that I find on the web to pdf creator so that I can read them when I am offline. Recently I have been trying to copy and paste code snippets from documents that I have printed to pdf. The copy works find but when I try to past them into wordpad or notepad I get a jumble of incomprehensible characters. For example:

"is hoping that OneDrive will be the place" (I typed that quote in by the way")

Paste in as:

034=790,R4>=8>4+,-./01-4S0XX4?-4>=-49X8<

That might be an PDF Creator problem but I am posting this help message here just in case.

    I use a third party pdf printer.  I have been seeing this problem off and on for the last year or two.  It has not always been this way.  The Microsoft PDF is working ok today.

    Looks like a problem of PDF Creator.
