Paragraphs and newlines lost when copying text

[jameswaudbycontentcatalyst]

Hi,

When copying text, all paragraphs and newlines are lost—copied text becomes a single block. In contrast, copying the same PDF text from the PDF.js standalone viewer preserves paragraphs and newlines, even if only plain text can be pasted into apps like Microsoft Word.

Could @pdf-viewer/react align its clipboard extraction with PDF.js so paragraph breaks and newlines are preserved?

Thank you for your work on this useful library!

Thanks so much for reporting this and for the kind words!

We’ll investigate this further to see how we can improve the copy behaviour and update you again.
