[QUOTE="iLindzo, post: 524905, member: 40834"] Hi all! I'm having an issue with copying and pasting text from a PDF file. Here's the deal.. In Preview, I use the Text Selection tool and most of the time, it works fine. I can copy and paste the text where ever I need it. On a select few, however, I can select the text, do a Cmd-C, and when I go to paste, it will either paste blocks which cannot be changed with just a font change, or it will paste just the spaces... no other characters. I've tried opening the PDFs in Adobe Reader as well, and copying from there, but no luck. :Confused: Any ideas on a fix? Thanks! :) [/QUOTE]
