Crystal Report's PDF exporting has a feature that is called embedding fonts which embeds font into PDF that makes sure PDF could render these fonts in any platform correctly.
The character shown in the PDF has been re-encoded which is applied to the character whose unicode is beyond 0xff
For example, the character "我" could be as "0x0020" in PDF which is related to an embedded font in PDF. So if you copy the character in PDF, it will search the character using encoding "0x20". While you copy the "我" from outside and search or type, it will search according its unicode "0x2dfs" (just an example). Hence, this is a behavior by design.
This functionality does not currently exist in the product.

An Enhancement Request has been logged under ADAPT01460274. The Enhancement Request (ER) will be considered in terms of future product development when considering possible new features in the next major release. Please note that the ER may or may not be included depending on various factors.
To workaround this limitation, print the report to PDF format from Crystal Reports instead of exporting the report to PDF format.
