Hi there, first off sorry if this was discussed but I was unable as the searches I did returned too many results.

I couldn't find the solution in the calibre manual either.

I have a PDF that is justified text, and in some lines the spacing between the words of a full line seems to be so big that the PDF input module interprets them as "end of line". This of course results in each word becoming its own line.

Example:
PDF:
This _ would _ be _ the _ justified _ line.

Output:
This
would
be
the
justified
line.

I've tried several different in- and output settings as well as different output formats, to no avail. Same problem in output epub, rtf or txt, which is why I suspect the PDF input to be the problem. I also changed the unwrap factor, both in PDF input and structure detection with results show them at work, but not helping this issue.

Anyone can enlighten me?
