I have tried the same thing with Ubuntu Hardy and I can confirm that now the problem is resolved.
With Gedit I have created two PDF files: one with the "Print to file" option, and one with the "PDF" (cups-pdf) option The first one is created by "cairo 1.6.0 (http://cairographics.org)" The second by "GPL Ghostscript 8.61" Both PDF files are now good. I have copied from both of them and pasted in Gedit, and the text is perfect. -- Copy text from a PDF document and paste it, display strange characters https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/49631 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
