Summary0004274: Text selected from produced PDF is scrambled
DescriptionMost PDF viewers like Adobe Reader, KPdf, or XPdf have a text selection tool that allows to copy and paste text from a PDF document.

Unfortunately, with PDF documents produced with Scribus, the copied text is totally scrambled and unreadable. Thus, the PDF cannot be considered perfect. A good PDF creator should be able to create flawless PDF files.
Steps To ReproduceCreate a document with Scribus, insert a text box and fill it with some text. Then export to PDF. Open the PDF file with Acrobat Reader and use the "select tool" to C&P some text.
TagsNo tags attached.
