Standard PDF viewers do not include Khmer glyphs.
The core challenge is that the default PDF PDF standard fonts do not support Khmer characters. You must instruct the pdf package to use your loaded Khmer font.
Without a proper shaping engine , a PDF library will print the individual code points side-by-side, creating gibberish.
