Zotfile spacing with extracted annotations.

Problem with spacing using Zotfile with windows 10 machine with Adobe Acrobat Pro 2017.

Extracted notation looks like:

"Si m arl y as t he aut hors of "Fro m Anarchy to Wkiality Gari ng Bas to Good Cop" write Wki pedias press coverage "has evol ved fro m be wl der ment at t he proj ect, to concern and hostility a its model, to acceptance of its merits and disappoi nt ment at its shortco mngs, and fi nall y to calls t hol d it sociall y accountable and refor m it li ke any ot her i nstit ution" (Reagle and Koerner 2020:4)

historical wiki context emphasizing intitial rejections (note on p.4)

This was from:
https://wikipedia20.pubpub.org/pub/2lpefbws/release/1

I also had the problem with another pdf taken from the web.

  • I don't have the problem with pdfs taken from books. Only with those saved to pdf with embedded meta-data.
  • This is just due to the low quality of the text in the specific PDFs. If you select the text in the PDF manually and copy-paste it, you will see the same issue.
  • Thanks for weighing in, but I tested for that.

    This is what a copy/paste looks like:

    When Wikipedia was launched in 2001, mainstream media as well as more technology minded outlets
    treated it as something between a fluke and quirky outlier. With quotes from cofounders Jimmy Wales
    and Larry Sanger, early coverage tended to focus on what seemed like Wikipedia’s most novel aspects:
    how it is written by anyone, is edited collaboratively, is free to access, and in the case of tech media,
    extends the culture of open software development to the realm of encyclopedias.

    If you have any other ideas, I would be interested in hearing them.
