Let's restart the bug report that people can follow again:

Description:
I export a presentation as pdf. In the pdf when I copy the text from contents
into clipboard the Whitespaces are removed or content changed.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open attached presentation in Impress.
2. Export presentation as pdf.
3. Open pdf.
4. Select text from contents and copy to clipboard.
5. Text in the clipboard has no whitespaces.

Actual Results:
When I paste the text from the clipboard somewhere whitespaces are removed or
content changed.

Example:
In step 4 I select "Introduction (1 slide)"
After step 5 the clipboard contains "Introduc/on (1 slide)"
or "Introduction(1slide)"

Expected Results:
The whitespaces should be in the clipboard and content unchanged.

Example:
In step 4 I select "Introduction (1 slide)"
After step 5 the clipboard should contain:
"Introduction (1 slide)"


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No


Which PDF viewers do I use?
1. Preview App
2. PDiff Express 2
3. Adobe Acrobat Reader for Mac


When I create the PDF with Powerpoint 2008 for Mac and follow the steps to
reproduce then I get "Introduction (1 slide)" into the clipboard with all three
PDF viewers. This is the expected result.

When I create the PDF with Powerpoint 2019 for Mac and follow the steps to
reproduce then I get "Introduction(1slide)" into the clipboard with Preview App
and PDiff Express 2. With Acrobat Reader I get "Introduction (1 slide)" into
the clipboard. The removal of the whitespace content is unexpected.

When I create the PDF with LO 7.1+ and follow the steps to reproduce
then I get "Introdu/on(1slide)" into the clipboard with Preview App and PDiff
Express 2. With Adobe Acrobat Reader for Mac I get "Introduc/on (1 slide)" into
the clipboard. This content change is unexpected.




In Comment 17 there is the question what happens with a slash prefix to each
whitespace.

I created Attachment 159385,  Attachment 166929 and attachment 166930 in
response to that question.

The test results concerning the question in Comment 17 are these:

When I create the PDF with Powerpoint 2008 for Mac and follow the steps to
reproduce then I get "Introduction/ (1/ slide)" into the clipboard with all
three PDF viewers. This is the expected result.

When I create the PDF with Powerpoint 2019 for Mac and follow the steps to
reproduce then I get "Introduction/(1/slide)" into the clipboard with Preview
App and PDiff Express 2. With Adobe Acrobat I get "Introduction/ (1/ slide)"
into the clipboard. The removal of the whitespace content is unexpected.

When I create the PDF with LO 7.1+ and follow the steps to reproduce
then I get "Introduc/on(1slide)" with Preview App and with "PDiff Express 2"
into the clipboard. With Adobe Acrobat I get "Introduc/on/ (1/ slide)" into the
clipboard. This content change is unexpected.
