Public bug reported:
dear all,
i've been experiencing technical problems with copy/paste from PDF
-opened both by acroread and evince- to OpenOffice.org Spreadsheet with
fixed width option in paste special.
On Lucid & Maverick, by opening the PDF and copy it and paste it to
spreadsheet, although I have chosen fixed width, the results were pasted
with left alignment without tab or space like the sources.
On Hardy, I could easily copy the content of the PDF and pasted it into
spreadsheet and have the right fixed width. I could separated each
collum just fine.
I tried to install Hardy on Lucid & Maverick using Virtualbox, and I
found out that when I opened and copied the PDF on Hardy, and pasted it
to Spreadsheet on Lucid/Maverick, the fixed width worked as it should
be!
I guess there's something changed with the copy buffer in Lucid &
Maverick as I recall I could still copy paste fixed width PDF to
Spreadsheet on Karmic and Jaunty.
Hope this will be figured out since windows produced the same results as
Lucid & Maverick. This function in Ubuntu helps! :)
