About the Remove Line Breaks

Smart join is the mode most people want: it joins the broken lines inside a paragraph while keeping the blank line between paragraphs, which is exactly the damage a PDF copy does to text.

Other modes strip every break, remove only blank lines, add blank lines between paragraphs, or convert breaks to HTML br tags. Hyphen-split words are rejoined automatically.

Frequently asked questions

Why does PDF text copy so badly?

A PDF stores each line as a separate piece of positioned text, with no idea where sentences or paragraphs begin. Copying gives you the lines, not the prose.
