I am befuddled. My assistant prints the dockets from cases from the internet to pdf. I then review them and sometimes want to copy text to other documents. Sometimes I get wildly random boxes of different sizes (usually several inches tall where I would expect just the line or paragraph of highlighted texts. The problem is hard to describeand s o I havent found much. Any insight woul be appreciated. Here is a public record example.

It is because you are not really selecting the text but the object as a whole. It could have been a scanned and OCR'd doc or a Print to PDF doc that was converted from HTML.
