From the error, seems like you have an issue with the font inside the PDF. Adobe does OCR (Optical character recognition), so if the font is not included, or has a problematic encoding, it still allows you to copy paste the character that you see on screen. PlanetPress Connect doesn’t, it relies on a associating table (glyph VS code) that ususally comes with a fonts.

Also, it seems that your font as character for which it doesn’t find an equivalent in the table (previously mentioned).

I suggest you open a technical support ticket through our website. This way, a technician will look at your PDF(s) and let you know if there is a workaround or not.
