    Can not select only one column in a double-column pdf

      Please see the following example pdf file. I can not select only one column. Whenever I select multiple lines, I will have both columns. I currently solve this problem by converting the pdf file into an image file and loaded it in Acrobat and perform OCR on it. But this is not an ideal solution. I'm wondering if there is a better solution to fix the pdf so that I can select only one column at a time.
