I compile my latex with pdflatex in texniccenter. The produced pdf looks good. But when I select a word and copy it over to a texteditor, some of the characters are wrong. for instance all german ö,ü,ä but also a word like anriffsvektor becomes angri_svektor, so both "f" become a "_". Are there any settings, I can setup with pdflatex for that?

Here is a mwe:

\documentclass[a4paper,fontsize=11pt,oneside,parskip=half,headings=normal]{scrreprt} 
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}   
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}      


\begin{document}
angriffsvektor
\end{document}

And here is an example pdf file

  • Build an minimal working example (»MWE«) and add it to your question. We can easily have educated guesses what the cause of the vanishing ligatures may be (use package cmap, e.g.), but for sure you only know after testing. – Keks Dose Aug 15 '18 at 06:38
  • Copies correctly for me (using TL2018 and TeXworks). Which viewer did you try? – TeXnician Aug 15 '18 at 06:55
  • I use AdobeAcrobat Reader DC, but I don't think it's an viewer issue, I think it's more a compile issue. – Flo Aug 15 '18 at 06:58

    Using your example pdf I can tell that you did not use a T1 enabled font (or did not use the \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} line) to produce it. Try using lmodern for example (which looks very much like Computer Modern but is a T1 font). But my viewer (the fabulous MuPDF) did copy the ff ligature correctly as two fs. Only the umlaut ü was copied as ¨u. – Skillmon Aug 15 '18 at 07:21

    The MWE you posted above doesn't make any problem, both the ff ligature and the umlaut are copied correctly by MuPDF. If that's not the case for your setup, this is ought to be a viewer problem. – Skillmon Aug 15 '18 at 07:23
  • \usepackage{lmodern} did the trick! thanks a lot. I thought the default font should be a T1 Font...!? – Flo Aug 15 '18 at 08:04
