Description mr_smyle 2010-02-13 19:18:07 UTC 
1. Open attached TrayTek.pdf 
2. Select any part of table, Copy it
3. Open Calc, new doc
4. Paste.

You see - data putted in separated cells like in pdf file.

Now try to do anything like this with any table in any pdf generated by OOo. You
can not paste data back to Calc cells each to each. Some example files I have
attached.

What is needed for solve this problem?

I do not reproduce the problem with OOo 3.2.0 FR under Ubuntu 8.04.
Paste as unformatted text in Calc and choose csv import options. I tried fixed
width and it worked well.

Comment 6 mr_smyle 2010-02-14 08:55:29 UTC 
Fixed width is not solution. We loose formatting  (bold, italic) & not every
time values in cells are one-char-width.

I think, now on exporting to pdf OOo do not use tables as tables.
In any pdf with tables produced by OOo you can not control selection in table by
mouse well. And can not copy-paste.

First attached file produced NOT in OOo. In it all selection and copy-paste goes
right.

Confirming with OO3.2 on WinXP and Acrobat reader - as described.
