Adobe Reader PDF Text COPY : kanji + furigana copied

漢字 · かんじ

Aule Kanji Pages · Kanji Recog Pages

The image below is of a PDF open in the latest Adobe Reader ; as you see, the text copy selection also grabs the furigana, producing slightly problematic results as plain text.

Web page copies tend to place the furigana in-line, which is even worse!

A typical result from Adobe Reader follows:

夜の　

ちやう

帳にささめき尽きし星の今を　

げかい

下界　の人の鬢のほつれ

よ

Is the last item furigana or not?
