Sample PDF: http://www.cs.ru.nl/P.Achten/IFL2013/program.pdf The talks titles have multi-line titles. I'm trying to select the text of a link, copy it. Because the link area is way bigger than the actual link text, I can't put my cursor left of the link and select its text. Maybe a right-click item, "copy link title", would help? Thanks, jonathan

If you try to select the linked text, you have to click on the blank space, which makes the selection start from the top of the document.
