[QUOTE="rubaiyat, post: 1626891, member: 240393"] I second cha-m's comment. PDFs are Portable Document Files, a digital version of paper, for [I]reading[/I] [U]not[/U] writing. The text and images will read as laid out but are actually simply positioned all over the digital page in bits and pieces, not neatly breaking where you expect. [B]Preview[/B].app very cleverly will let you select the text, even if it is in multiple columns and Copy/Paste that elsewhere, but it doesn't always get the formatting or text order correct.
