Copypasting from pdf is not always a good idea. Usually, when a pdf document contains one page (or less) of plain text, then copypasting works. But if the text is partly fed to the next page, something can fall in between (for example, page numbers) if there are some non-flat constructions (for example, tables, or floating objects with captions), the ordering of the parts of the text can be intermixed if some font switching takes place, then the driver which produces that pdf can also change (perhaps optimize in some way) the text layout And then, the copypaster can actually follow the ordering of the letters as they appear in the (complex structured) pdf file, which can easily differ from the order in which they appear on the screen. _______________________________________________________________________________ Georgy Salnikov NMR Group Novosibirsk Institute of Organic Chemistry Lavrentjeva, 9, 630090 Novosibirsk, Russia Phone +7-383-3307864 Email [email protected] _______________________________________________________________________________ -- Cin mailing list [email protected] https://lists.cinelerra-gg.org/mailman/listinfo/cin
