Hi guys.

I have a question.

If I see the PDF document, there is no white square in the text.

BTW, if copying text from PDF and then pasting it to word or notepad, there is white square instead of space.

Is there anyone who know the cause of this issue? And if available, how to resolve this?

Thank you!!

The fault lies with the application that created the PDF. For some reason they decided to insert these "white box" characters instead of spaces, so that's what you get when you export it. A global search and replace command should take care of it, though.
