I have a PDF document. It is open in my browser via Acrobat Reader. I
want to copy some text. So I clicked the "select tool", highlighted a
paragraph, right-clicked, chose "Copy to Clipboard". Instead of a
chunk of text about performance standards for safety glass in
buildings, I got:

Thanks a lot, Adobe! That's going to look really fucking great pasted
into my engineering class assessment.
