Because for some reason (I suspect because Mac OS/X is Unix) when you do a cut a paste out of adobe acrobat reader you get all the text but NO leading spaces they all disappear - it is sometimes like this hugely frustrating

There is also this thread where he has enlisted the help of one of the PDF experts with another approach.
Thanks for that - I'll take a look.

I'm sure there must be a way to do this to get this if only I could crack the CSS

Thanks for the pointes and tips.
