I think this error is caused by the cut and paste operation out of the PDF. It’s a bizzarre encoding error; there’s no reason for the script to have non-ASCII characters, so it’s probably an issue with the PDF having strange characters that look like normal characters to the eye.

Try pasting it with a different tool set – do you have something like “paste as plain text”? By “notepad” I assume you’re on Windows, try passaging it through Word or something instead of directly into notepad. Or point out to me which PDF (there are at least a dozen…) it was and I’ll see if I can attach a functional version for you here.
