All those "problems" apply to Word too. Maybe you use tables, maybe you use lists, maybe you use stars, maybe ... So there's no advantage in forcing people to use Word "because the machine can understand it better". Because that's a lie.

Exactly what I was about to reply. Try copying a crazy multi-column Word document into text, and you'll get similar results.

Copy-pasting parts of your PDF document is not any more difficult than doing the same thing for a Word document.
