GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
I have noticed that when I save a PDF (Chrome conversion) of a Web Page that 
uses Noto Nastaliq Urdu, I am am unable to copy plain text from the converted 
PDF

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Visit http://saqib-ali.github.io/urdu/
2. Save the page as PDF (using Chrome Save as PDF)
3. Open the PDF in Adobe Reader or Chrome
4. Try to copy the text from the PDF to another Editor
5. All text is garbled up 

I am attaching a sample PDF for testing.

Thanks for the report.  Unfortunately PDF text extraction is extremely tricky 
(more so with fonts like this) and requires a lot of very complicated support 
on both the PDF generator and the PDF viewer... :(
