copying text without missing spaces

I get a finacial newspaper via pdf.  Sometimes I like to send articles to a relative.  When I copy the text out of Acrobat Pro (8-X) and into either an e-mail or a text editor often some spaces are missing.  Also every line in the pdf ends in a <cr>, so reformating for a wider text column doesn't work.  HOWEVER if I use Preview, part of Mac OS-X, NEITHER of these problems happen!  Is there anyway to get Acrobat to act more like Preview, is there some sort of setting?

 

FYI:  I use Acrobat instead of Preview because I can set that highlighting text also generates comments at the end of the document, so its easy to go through those and click to find my highlights, maybe it would be easier to get Preview to do that.
