What's that? I need a _PDF_ document where you copy text from.

test pdf

created with OO 3.1.1
but the problem happens with all pdf's I have tried
Comment 6 Pino Toscano 2009-07-30 01:39:33 UTC
In your document, I can see a trailing 0A triplet when copying text from:
- Acrobat Reader 9.1.2
- Okular 0.8.4 + Poppler 0.10.6
- Evince 2.26.1 + Poppler 0.10.6

Thus, I guess the PDF producer adds those.
Comment 7 Ferdinand Gassauer 2009-07-30 09:45:52 UTC
sorry to reopen
can we assume that adobe produces "good" pdf's?

http://www.adobe.com/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/plugin_apps_developer_guide.pdf
got to page 218
copy the complete "topic "line or below
it says 22 letters copied
and I get 3 times this  triplet
