I was curious, so I tried with a simple PDF, but it only pasted plain text. I tried something similar. Had a LyX-generated PDF file open, copied the content and pasted it into an OpenOffice.org document. The pasted version had some of the PDF markup with it, font size mostly but not much more. This was under Mac OS X with Abode Reader. Regards, Trevor. <>< Re: deemed!
I did some experiments -- created a Lyx document and emphasised a few words here and there, then created a pdf. In the pdf, Ctrl-A, Ctrl-C then in Abiword or my dear old Word 95 Ctrl-V. No italics. That's strange. So I went back to LyX and played about a bit. The critical thing seems to be to choose a definite non-default font. If, for instance, I choose Latin Modern and go through the same procedure, then the paste into Word or Abiword retains the emphasis. Reverting to the default font, or Computer Modern, and the emphasis is not pasted.
