[Slackbuilds-users] Copying PDF-1.7 text using -14.2

[Didier Spaier]

As requested by Alexander, please provide a file version 1.7 or a link to
a file version 1.7 and tell which block of text in it you want to paste, so
we can try to reproduce the issue and investigate further.

Really, this is the best thing you can do to help us help you.
