> I think it's worth pointing out that PDFs are extremely messy under-the-hood so expecting perfect output is a fool's errand This. A while ago someone asked me why their banking solution doesn't allow to paste payment amounts (among other things) and surely there must be a way to do it correctly. Not with PDF. What a person reads as a single number may be any grouping of entities which may or may not paste correctly. Some banks simply don't want to deal with this sort of headache.
