Hi Attila, The text buffer does return the correct number of chars with spaces. If I get a char count on the lines with or without numbers it returns the correct number. When I export to PDF the layout is the same as the print preview. When I test with pdftotext then, as you say, it doesn't maintain the correct layout. Looking at pdftotext --help, the website is given.
The Poppler Developers - http://poppler.freedesktop.org They do have a mailing list to contact the developers. Have you asked them about it? Maybe it is something that they can fix or have a solution for. The other option is if the text output is consistent from pdftotext then you could parse the text and format it correctly before importing into a new program.
