This is usually something that is not wanted and while it is not a big problem to remove the line breaks manually when short paragraphs have been pasted it becomes a bigger problem for longer texts.

Auto Unbreak is a small 22 Kilobyte tool that has only one purpose. It takes text from pdf documents and removes the line breaks of those texts before it provides the user with an option to copy the newly formatted text to the clipboard again.

Auto Unbreak is a portable application that can be executed from any location of a computer system. It ships with two files that define merge and exception rules which might come in handy for users who deal with specifically formatted text.

The rule files can be edited in every text editor. The homepage of the developers have been suspended, please download the tool from this link. It is temporarily hosted here at Ghacks until the developers announce their new website.
