<pre>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
