Please note that if it is intended to copy text from PDF documents and paste it in applications/locations outside of PDF-XChange Editor (such as Microsoft Word) then additional page breaks may appear at the end of every line of text. This is a recognized problem with PDF documents. The Edit Content Tool should be used instead of the Select Text Tool in order to avoid this issue. When the Edit Content Tool is enabled, select the text to be copied and then press Ctrl+C to copy it.
