It can't even copy paste normal text properly (the bug has been there for 8 years now: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=810636 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=810636). Line breaks are ignored and words are just smushed together instead. Ever since I switched to FF it has been my biggest annoyance, on Chrome this stuff just works. The best alternative on windows is PDF-XChange, fairly obscure but extremely feature-rich.

This is a hard problem. Unflowing text requires determining where the next line is and possibly removing optional hyphenation. PDF only deals with one line spans of text at best. Throw in super and subscripts or inline graphics and it becomes nontrivial.

  It's not trivial, but as the bug report points out, Adobe Reader can handle it.

Another vote for PDF-XChange. It's very good at selecting text and annotating a PDF. Plus it has excellent printing features.
