\subsection{Improved copy\&paste support for \pdfTeX{} documents}

Copying from and searching in PDF files works more reliably, if these
files contain ToUnicode CMaps which help the viewer to map glyphs to
(Unicode) characters. These CMaps already were written for OpenType
font in \XeTeX{} and \LuaTeX{}. Now \pdfTeX's support for generating
these maps is enabled by default too.
When compiling with \pdfTeX{}, additional information is added to the
PDF file to improve copying from and searching in text. This especially
allows ligatures to copy correctly from \pdfTeX{} generated PDF files in
most cases.

Since this has been integrated into the kernel, most documents should no
longer need to load the \pkg{cmap} package or input \texttt{glyphtounicode}.
