Do you mean the commercial Adobe Acrobat software for creating PDF
documents, or the free Adobe Reader (previously called Adobe Acrobat
Reader) for viewing and printing (and commenting on) PDF documents?

Odd things may happen in copy and paste. I don’t have Adobe Acrobat, but
I played with your sample word, writing it in MS Word, saving as PDF,
and copying the word back to MS Word, when viewing the PDF document in a
PDF viewer. Using Adobe Reader, it got copied correctly, but using Foxit
Reader (the second most common free PDF viewer), its character order got
reversed. The same happens when pasting in a plain text editor.
