Bug Description

Please use this document to reproduce the issue: https://docs.bmc.com/docs/download/attachments/677783897/CTM_Admin_9.0.00.400_488755.pdf

With Ctrl+F, you can find the term HYPHEN in CTM_VARIABLE_ALLOW_HYPHEN on page 155, but you cannot find the term ALLOW. Adobe Reader can (see attachment "find.png"), and I also expect Evince to find the term, even if the text is wrapped because the column is too small.

In Evince there seems to be a newline character at the position where it should just wrap the column text. Copy&Paste of the row will result in the same behaviour:

CTM_VARIABLE_ALLO
W_HYPHEN Enables user-defined variables to contain the - (hyphen) character.
Valid values: N, Y
Default: N
Refresh Type: Manual
NOTE: If a job has an variable that includes a hyphen in the variable name, it
will fail when submitted to an agent that is running on UNIX.

Again, Adobe Reader does not split CTM_VARIABLE_ALLOW_HYPHEN on two lines:

CTM_VARIABLE_ALLOW_HYPHEN
Enables user-defined variables to contain the - (hyphen) character.
Valid values: N, Y
Default: N
Refresh Type: Manual
NOTE: If a job has an variable that includes a hyphen in the variable name, it will fail when submitted to an agent that is running on UNIX.
