    Default Copying text from pdf to Revit

    What's the solution to getting a clean copy of text from a .pdf into a Revit Sheet?
    Right now, when I copy text from pdf and paste into Revit, I get several repeat sentences and multiple, (LOTs of), extra spaces between words.The font I'm copying is autocad shx text and when I bring it into Revit and try to change the font it's not working properly.
    Is there an easy way to do this?
    Thank You

    I found a vid on youtube that suggests, if the pdf is created from a .dwg, that you take the pdf into adobe illustrator and export it as a dwg, then open in autocad and scale if needed, save it, and open Revit and import the dwg into revit.
