    Annoying line breaks when copying and pasting from pdf

    jt77474 Community Member

      Why is it that whenever I copy and past from pdf I get

      loads of annoying

      line breaks.

       

      If I want to copy and paste into word it seems I have

      to go through each

      line and manually remove

      the line break. This is beyond frustrating.

       

      In word, text automatically wraps from one line to the next. It appears to do the same thing in pdf, except that when you paste it you notice that for some reason acrobat insists on putting a line break at the end of each line on the pdf. That means resizing is impossible

       

      Why did they design it this way? Why is noone else complaining about copy paste from pdf?

       

      What am I doing wrong? Please put me straight. Thanks
