PDF Text is mixed up after copy/paste

Hello,

 

after exporting my file from indesign, the PDF looks perfect.
My Problem is: if I want to copy the hole text by Command + A or by hand and for example paste it into Word, the order which the textboxes are created in, is completly mixed up in the way they appear. 

 

For Example my PDF-doc looks like this:

1. Headline

2. Introduction

3. Text

4. Closing/Impressum

 

, they could appear in Word in the following order:

4. Closing/Impressum

3. Text

1. Headline

2. Introduction

 

Does somebody know about this and is it fixable?

Well, PDF is intented to reproduce the design of a document as accurate as possible, but it doesn't guarantee a logical text flow. This is simply a limititation you have to deal with.

Thank you radzmar for your answer. I was expecting that I can't change it.
