This has been my favorite pdf program of all time. I do not work I am a happy homemaker and have a special needs son and have a lot of documents to file and fill and fax for him. This is the best program. The price is a bit high for me but it's worth it at times when I need to do something that other pdf programs just can't do it.

Did you know?

Problem: Pasting text with C-y typically inherits a lot of the new lines that PDF text tends to carry, requiring me to fix the text manually. Solution: M-q, fill-column, does well to reformat the text I yank from PDFs into paragraphs of length determined by Emacs'. Younger's answer below clarified my problem.
