Copy pasting text issues

Edited because it isn't a realm works issue. Please delete this thread.

Nothing to see here. Move along.

I've noticed here and there where a space goes missing, but nothing that bad. I chalk it up to the formatting of the PDF. Don't know if I'm right, but that's my guess. I know that PDFs can be formatted in weird ways sometimes.

Try a different PDF reader and see if it makes a difference.

I figured out the issue. It was the PDF itself.

It's likely an image scan instead of a full OCRd image or converted copy of the original manuscript. PDF Readers are trying to interpret the text and can grab the characters but can't interpret the spacing properly.

That was my thinking also.
