After converting an ebook on Calibre (http://calibre-ebook.com) from MOBI to PDF and load it on Skim, when do a copy/paste to a text editor the real text is missing and got this gibberish:

␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣
␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣

Same horrible result using Preview application.
BUT using Adobe Acrobat Pro XI or PDF Studio 6.62 Pro from http://www.qoppa.com. the text is not missing and copy/paste to a text editor works properly and PERFECT.
Analizing the converted PDF ebook on Acrobat Pro's Document Properties on the Font section can see: Helvetica (Embedded Subset), Encoding: Identiy-H.
Could you please fix this on Skim?
Thanks.
Tom

Note: using Mac OS X 10.6.8 with last version of Skim.

    Sorry, that's the Apple's problem, we cannot fix that. They know for as long as PDFKit exists.
