I got a chinese document in pdf which contains chinese characters. The problem is I can't copy the chinese characters to the CMS which I think uses FCKEditor. Is there a solution for this? Thanks!

Do you have East Asian language support installed on the machine you're doing this on? If you don't have the support you'll get generally squares for the missing characters but I have seen other things. | |||

Some PDFs don't allow copying and some editors don't support unicode. Figuring out whether either of these two situations apply to you would be the first step in determining where the problem is and whether or not there's anything you can do about it yourself. | |||

Can you paste an example? Maybe for some reason you're getting text in the wrong encoding, but that wouldn't normally happen (though it depends on the PDF reader software). It is entirely possible that the PDF is using custom fonts to render Chinese, in which case there's no standard mapping between the textual characters in the document and the Chinese displayed. In this case it will be very difficult to get anything useful out of the file. | |||
