Copy-paste for ligatures

When selecting and copying passages of text from a PDF, commonly ligatures (e.g. special characters that represent a group of two characteris such as "fl"), are copied as special characters.

Upon pasting into Word or other software these special characters are often not recognized.

It would make much sense to have "smart" copy-and-paste that automatically converts ligatures into the respective single characters.

    Sorry to hear that you had trouble.
    We would like to understand that why would you copy data from PDF to any other application.
