I also have problem with this like suppose you type "html 5" in text box of http://pdfsearchmachine.com I got this type of weeird characters in the explanation "HTML5는 ì•„ì§ ì´ˆì•ˆ 단계ì´ë‹¤. ๠하지만 마무리 단계ì´ê¸° ë•Œë¬¸ì— ëŒ€ë¶€ë¶„ì˜ ë‚´ìš©ì€ í™•ì •ì´. ëœ ìƒíƒœë¼ê³ ë´ë„ 무방하다. ... HTML5 마í¬ì—…. HTM" how I can correct that ..

I would have thought that was a parsing issue. Is the original PDF readable using Adboe Reader or something? How are you reading the PDFs with PHP? I assume its using a PDF library, rather than just opening the file using fopen or file_get_contents...

I don't get the same problem. Tried html 5 and html5. All results looked fine.
