Copy and search Tibetan in PDFs
Many Tibetan PDFs look perfect on screen but fall apart when you select the text: copying gives gibberish and searching finds nothing. That is because the PDF stores the letters in a legacy encoding, or without telling the computer which Unicode character each shape stands for.
These tools repair the PDF or extract clean Unicode from it, so you can copy, search and paste the Tibetan.
