Dear all, I have a feature request: would it be possible to remove line breaks when copying from PDFs in MAXQDA, so that copy/pasting is handled the same way as Preview?

Version: MAXQDA 2018
System: Mac OS X 10.13 (High Sierra)

The underlying problem is that MaxQDA doesn’t use native Mac PDF handling, unfortunately. I’m sure this is done to minimize development costs by reusing code across both platforms.

See https://www.maxqda.com/support/forum/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=1009 and https://www.maxqda.com/support/forum/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=1238 for some of the other frustrations this causes.
