How can I copy Tibetan script from a PDF?

I can select the text and copy, but when I paste into a word document it appears as garbled characters. The system definitely supports the script as I have installed a Tibetan keyboard input, so I can write in Tibetan in Word.

Maybe you can try with PDF2Word v3.0 program. You can download it with 100 free trials (it means that you can convert from PDF to Word 100 files before purchasing the software).

Thanks very much. I tried this, but the Tibetan script still came out garbled. I think the issue is that the characters are embedded in the PDF, and they aren't supported in word. I'll probably need to give up on this one. But thanks very much for the tip!
