<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-top: 0pt; direction: ltr;">Hi
David</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-top: 0pt; direction: ltr;"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-top: 0pt; direction: ltr;">First,
thanks for your help.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-top: 0pt; direction: ltr;">I
don't know the PDF format too much, but I tried couple tools I
found, and none could convert the file properly. BTW, the PDF is
here:</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-top: 0pt; direction: ltr;"><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://mjai.co.il/NEW_TESTAMENT/nt.zip">http://mjai.co.il/NEW_TESTAMENT/nt.zip</a><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-top: 0pt; direction: ltr;">if
someone wants to try.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-top: 0pt; direction: ltr;"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-top: 0pt; direction: ltr;">As
far as I know, it's not password-protected, and I tried myself to
convert the gibberish to Hebrew like code decoding. I succeeded
most of it, but still wasn't able to convert the NIQUD signes (the
dots), which is a very important thing.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-top: 0pt; direction: ltr;"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-top: 0pt; direction: ltr;">The
file properties shows embedded fonts (a lot). Can it help somehow
?</p>
<br>
Thanks,<br>

PDF files with embedded custom fonts can be a pain for extracting text.
Have you checked document properties | fonts to see what these are?
Also, some PDF files are encrypted to prevent copying of content.
If printing is allowed, it might sometimes work to intercept the printing
output stream.
You might still get gibberish, as a result of the embedded fonts though.
btw. There are several utilities available that can convert other encodings
to Unicode.
Unless the embedded font is properly documented, it's a hard slog to remap
the encoding.
I once tried this for an Indian language, but gave up after a few hours.
