            Bug ID: 116911
           Summary: PDF generated from LibreOffice Writer has a problem
                    where text from the document, when copied gets
                    mangled.
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
                OS: Windows (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Printing and PDF export
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

Description:
I create documents regularly which are then converted to PDF by LibreOffice.
When I open the documents in one of several PDF readers and highlight/copy the
text and then paste it into a text editor or into the editor of a Word Press
site, the text gets garbled. Most of the characters and sentences are correct,
but then there are sections where different characters appear or no characters
appear. I would guess overall it is is 90-95% correct. 

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Export PDF
2. Open in PDF reader. Copy some text to clipboard.
3. Paste into plain text processor

Actual Results:  
I will attach the original document, the PDF and the text file generated from
the copy/paste. I will also attach an image of my very plain/default PDF export
settings. 

Expected Results:
see above


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes


OpenGL enabled: Yes
