Mac/Windows isn't the issue, be sure they use a real PDF reader, not a browser, a previewer or any low-end software.

That's kind of how it works. If you want to try and get around it, save the PDF as Word and copy/paste or place from there.

Try holding the Alt key while selecting text and paste as plain text.
