creating Hindi pdf file without errors
Recently I downloaded a Hindi pdf file from a government office website. It was fine till I downloaded and saved it, but when I opened this file in my system then not a single word was readable in that file. I have almost all Hindi fonts installed in my system. So I thought the file was corrupted. But soon I realised that the most of Hindi pdf files on that site was having the same issue. So there was optional download links for many of those files who shows text correctly.
