That's true; these weird char's show up on excerpt and can be searched for.
But I'm not using anything special to parse PDF's; just Adobe Acrobat and
then indexing with htdig. That's why I'm asking here. And the PS created by
Acrobat works is fine.
Further I don't think simply converting char's would help since the converter
would have to recognize between PC and Mac char sets, which overlap.
