Created attachment 50817 [details] This is the sample pdf illustrating the bug When I select text on the first page of the sample document, everything is ok and looks as expected. But text on the second page has way too large bounding boxes associated for the selection marks when selecting it (tested in evince and okular). In acroread, selection looks as expected. I created the document with LaTeX by including the second page via \includepdf.
The font bounding box and font descent in the PDF file is broken. The value -2960 is wrong. Changing this to 0 makes the selection for that font work correctly. It looks like acroread will clip the descent to 0 if it thinks the value is too low. Testing with acroread on page 2 the selection does not extend below the baseline. On page 1 the selection has the correct descent. << /FontName /TUSYEC+Iwona-Bold /StemV 110 /CharSet (/H/I/a/d/e/g/i/m/n/one/t/two) /FontFile 27 0 R /Ascent 1099 /Flags 4 /Descent -2960 /ItalicAngle 0 /FontBBox [-226 -2960 1456 1099] /Type /FontDescriptor /CapHeight 1099 >>
