If they are ligatures then they are a single character, period. Some, but not all, conversion processes will recognize these and replace them with the appropriate individual characters.

The problem you are encountering may be an "un-ligature" problem where two separate standard Ls are being placed very close together in the PDF and the conversion engine is seeing the locations as being too similar to treat them as two separate characters when it attempts to assemble the various pieces of text. It may think the two Ls are in the same place so it only places one in that spot in the output string.
