[pdftex] Blank lines are ignored when copying-and-pasting from PDF

[martijn.list]

Hi,


I'm including a PGP public key block in my document using with verbatim:

\begin{verbatim}
-----BEGIN PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-----
Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux)

mQGiBElPrxcRBADTrz89p8FEAC/DEpNmbanNruED96RAuE0FRgbERqvgeSB7SVeW
[snip]
TrzgYl9YhiNdY7s=
=4Rpa
-----END PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-----
\end{verbatim}

Now when I convert the Latex document to PDF (using pdflatex) the PDF 
document shows the blank line between ...GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) and 
mQGiBElP...

But, when I copy and paste the PGP key to a text editor it won't include 
the blank line. Because the blank line is mandatory the result will be 
an invalid PGP key. Is it possible to add a newline to the final PDF 
output to make sure that copy-and-paste will include the blank line?

Kind regards,

Martijn Brinkers

PS I use pdftex 1.40 that comes with Ubuntu 8.10
