Try extracting "Theorem 2" on page 5, or any text really. I just get random noise through either a PDF reader, or something like pdf2ascii / ps2ascii.
We just made this with standard latex.
- Gorgor 8y agoThat’s interesting. Did you \usepackage[T1]{fontenc}?
- CJefferson 8y agoThanks paper is from 2003, so I'm not sure. This is just an example. From experience, most PDFs at conferences and journals, generated from pdf, are not accessible to varying degrees.
- mkl 8y agoAny chance you could post the source code for this? It's using bitmaps for characters instead of proper fonts, which shouldn't happen nowadays. Maybe you should put "\usepackage{lmodern}" at the start? See for example https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/1291/why-are-bitmap-fonts-used-automatically https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/1291/why-are-bitmap-... I work with course materials made in Latex, and students sometimes need/want to copy and paste from them, so I try to avoid these kinds of problems.
