When I select text from a pdf the layout is lost. I'd like to select text and paste to a text editor with leading and trailing spaces and blank lines. I want to select some lines from a file with the gui but I can demonstrate it with the following file. Decoding the pdf file clearly shows the layout with leading and trailing spaces and a blank line: ``` stream /F1 10 Tf BT 40 763.07751 Td 0 -11.0775 Td (Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet,) Tj 0 -11.0775 Td ( consectetur adipiscing ) Tj 0 -11.0775 Td () Tj 0 -11.0775 Td (elit. sed do eiusmod) Tj ET endstream ``` ``` >pdftotext -layout -nopgbrk test.pdf - Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. sed do eiusmod ``` copy/paste wth okular loses the layout: ``` Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. sed do eiusmod ```
