In what way do you mean? E.g. if I have text in columns like this:

    11111 44444
    22222 55555
    33333 66666

then Acrobat Reader gives me "11111 22222 33333 44444 55555 66666"
(which is what I want, because the sentences have stayed together).
You mean you prefer xpdf in this case because acroread lacks an
option to preserve the side-by-side formatting?
