Thai Font error After Exporting

[Thai Customs Brussels]

Hello Indesign Community,

We have been using Indesign for our work research paper for 3 years now, we have to export it to pdf and upload on our website to make it publicly available. However, we have the font error problems, in this case we mostly use fonts in Thai Language.

After exporting, everything looks perfectly fine like in the pic. 

However, if we copied&pasted it elsewhere or try to use ctrl+f funtion to look for keywords. We coundn't find a single match as all the fonts are in the wrong orders and abnormal styles as attached some lines, 

This causes us lots problens as we want to spread knowledge and info to all audience, but our work has never been showed up on the web browser as it cannot find the matching keywords from the engins to our works.  I tried changing fonts but still have the same problems, FYI, we never have this problems when we use just Microsoft Words and English Words are not affected. 

Looking forward to your suggestions, maybe some fonts setting or what kind of fonts should we look for. Thank you.

And why are you doing this when you have the original document? Copy/paste from Acrobat has never been all that great and I'm not so sure anything you do here is going to improve thing.

PDF is a final format and while editing has come a long way, it's still best to use the original document for any kind of work.

For me the main concern is not about copying and pasting texts, but motly about the fact that our works are impossible to be shown on search engine as the keywords cannot match the text on the files.
