Questions

Why does text copied from a PDF break into lines?

A PDF stores each line on its own, so copying keeps a line break at the end of every line. This joins them back into paragraphs.

Could it join two paragraphs by mistake?

Sometimes, when a paragraph ends right at the edge of the line. Glance through the result before you use it.

Is what I type sent anywhere?

No. It's worked out in your browser. Nothing you type leaves your device.
