Using 'Convert PDF to Word' API on a Hebrew Searchable PDF document gets corrupted

Hello,

I have noticed a strange behavior using Adobe PDF services API. Seems like a bug to me.

I am using Microsoft Power automate with Adobe API in order to process PDF documents in Hebrew.

Using Adobe PDF services API – 'Create Searchable PDF using OCR' works fine in Hebrew.
If I manually copy the Hebrew text from the output searchable PDF document, it pastes correctly into a Word document (in Hebrew).

However, if I use the – 'Convert PDF to Word' API on the searchable PDF document, the Word documents receives corrupted text (Gibberish).

It is important to note that if I use the 'Convert PDF to Word' API on a PDF document that was NOT originally produced through the 'Create Searchable PDF using OCR', it does works fine in Hebrew.

I will appreciate if someone could point me in the right direction solving this issue.

in the future, to find the best place to post your message, use the list here, https://community.adobe.com/

p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.
