Many thanks for your confirmation, Denis.

With SumatraPDF 3.1.2, I get lines without spaces between words, too.

But the wrong extra extra spaces inside some words are wrong even in

Of course, I would like not have all correct spaces in SumatraPDF.

But the issue in Acrobat may be a bug.

Many tha thanks for your help,

Pablo
