Dave, thank you for this suggestion!
I had a look at the markup hypothes.is uses to display the copied text and found this (using Firefox):
===<blockquote class="annotation-quote ng-binding ng-scope" ng-repeat="selector in target.selector | filter : {'type': 'TextQuoteSelector'} track by $index" ng-bind-html="selector.exact">Gender, in contrast, is a social,not a biological characteristic. Genderconsists of what-ever behaviors and attitudes a group considers proper for its males and females. Conse-quently, gender varies from one society to another. Whereas sexrefers to male or female,genderrefers to masculinity or femininity. In short, you inherit your sex, but you learnyour gender as you are socialized into the behaviors and attitudes your culture asserts areappropriate for your sex.</blockquote>===Source: https://via.hypothes.is/http://www.renderx.com/files/demos/examples/CH11.pdf
So, obviously the text style is not copied at all and spaces are lost e.g. "female,genderrefers".
However, I am not concerned about the problems of PDF viewers. My initial concern was (when we initially were pointed to this problem by some useres), that our PDFs (journal articles) are somewhat corrupt or could be improved with regard to the encoding of spaces and line breaks.
Thanks again,Armin
