    That annoying double spacing when Coping from PDFs...

    Ive found if you use the PDF viewer that comes with windows 8 (metro interface) you dont get the double spacing!! And it seems to make less mistakes too! Who knew? A microsoft app was actually helpful!

    I'll have to try it out. Double spacing should be illegal hehe

    Metro Interface you say?

    I believe the "double space" means that copied text lines becomes paragraphs in FG.

    That's how I took it also - single lines become paragraphs. In FG the Ctrl-J joins selected lines into a single paragraph when you are in a formatted text field.

    I also found that on a Mac, preview does not give the problem where Adobe reader does.
