[QUOTE="Cristian Andreu, post: 6725378, member: 23822"] That's a relatively common problem with pdfs, particularly those created with Mac OS X 10.10.4 Quartz (you can check which version was used to create the pdf by going into the Properties menu. Quick check shows that the UA pdfswere indeed created with that version). From what I understand, this has to do with how spaces are configured in the document; they are "hard" spaces, and thus do not translate into a normal text flow when copied. The easiest way I know to solve this is to open the pdf in Adobe Acrobat and save it as a Word document (go to File > Save as Other > Microsoft Word, and give it a second to export the file); you will end with essentially the same text configuration, but in an easy-to-copy Word file. Some spaces between column-spanning titles and stuff like that might require some minor formatting tweaks, but nothing too problematic. You shouldn't experience any of those one-word-per-line problems anymore with this method. Hope it helps! PS: If you don't have Adobe Acrobat, send me a PM and I'll convert the UA files for you and send them over WeTransfer so you can easily manipulate them. [/QUOTE]
