Replacement Text (AccSupp ActualText entry) Support
We noticed that your PDF viewer doesn't have AccSupp ActualText support. This means that copy-pasting technical text such as shellscripts and programming code, does not work in your PDF viewer and this greatly restrains the use of your whole program.
According to the tests made using PDFs produced by pdflatex using the package accsupp, the replacement text support seems to be unreliable at the moment for copy and paste.
The tests are shown here: https://github.com/ho-tex/accsupp/issues/2 The tests generated various behaviors such as:
- Incorrect characters order (Test 1, Test 2, and Test 5);
- Incorrect copy and paste of leading spaces and empty lines (Test 1, Test 2, and Test 5);
- Spaces turned into newlines (Test 4), and;
- Unexpected insertions of spaces (Test 6).
We kindly request better support of the replacement text support, because the copy and paste directly from the PDF document is not reliable.
