[Trouble with loading text from PDFs- "ti" "tt" "ft"]

Quote

You can avoid it by editing the document in Pages, selecting all of its text, and choosing Format > Font > Ligature > Use None. 

Wow, this seems to work in Pages.app!  I'm just learning about Font Ligatures for the first time.

Thank you Mike, thank you!

I, too, have this problem on Mac, when exporting PDF from Pages using Calabri font.

After export, when I copy and paste from the export PDF, words like "software" become "So4ware".  Thus "ft", becomes "4".  Weird and awful experience.
