  Target Milestone: ---

When I select text from a pdf the layout is lost. I'd like to select text and
paste to a text editor with leading and trailing spaces and blank lines.

I want to select some lines from a file with the gui but I can demonstrate it
with the following file. Decoding the pdf file clearly shows the layout with
leading and trailing spaces and a blank line:

```
stream
/F1 10 Tf
BT
40 763.07751 Td
0 -11.0775 Td
(Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet,) Tj
0 -11.0775 Td
(    consectetur adipiscing ) Tj
0 -11.0775 Td
() Tj
0 -11.0775 Td
(elit. sed do eiusmod) Tj
ET

endstream
```

```
>pdftotext -layout -nopgbrk test.pdf -
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet,
       consectetur adipiscing

elit. sed do eiusmod
```

copy/paste wth okular loses the layout:

```
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet,
consectetur adipiscing
elit. sed do eiusmod
```
