Subject:Arabic from PDF

If a pdf file isn't protected, I can usually choose the text and copy  
the Arabic from it into an application like textedit on the mac and  
it works fine.  I do it all the time.  However, I have been given  
some pdf files which have Arabic in them, but when I copy the text  
into any other program, it turns to garbage.  Is there anyone out  
there who can explain this to me?
