Happens with every single pdf document that I have tried. As discussed downstream in: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=402071 This seems to be caused by poppler-0.18.3 and can be fixed with the following patch: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=402071#c5 Reply at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/poppler/+bug/792076/comments/3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ On 2012-02-12T19:19:49+00:00 Albert Astals Cid wrote: Are you saying this is new behaviour in poppler 0.18.3?

No. As far as I can see the relevant part of TextOutputDev.cc is the same in poppler-0.16.7. The behavior is new to me only because I solely used xpdf over the last decade and even the 'popplerized' xpdf in gentoo is not affected (I think it doesn't use poppler for text copying). > Have you verified your patch does not change pdftotext output? I just did a pdftotext of two pages of an pdf document with and without my patch applied and diff says the output is identical. And I'm very confident that this will always be ok as my change is in function TextSelectionDumper::getText which as far as I can see is not used by pdftotext.
