Cannot select properly on pdf. #3965

Closed meter1060 closed 10 years ago

meter1060 commented 10 years ago

Using pdf.js gives improper viewing on articles taken from an online article service called EBSCO. I have a link to an article but due to copyright issues I don't believe I am able to publicly post this article. If I could make this Issue hidden or If I could supply someone a link of email that would be great.

In some cases the selecting the text in the article gives random spaces and in other omitted characters. This is troublesome for using these articles when attempting to copy text for quoting or other cases.

Post the article or post link to the article? Read https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md to provide more information. Can Adobe Reader copy the text without the problem?
