Designing a Business Card in LaTeX
When I copy text from your PDF it comes out all garbled. Does this happen to others as well? Is it intentional; some form of copy protection?

Don't know about the parent's intentions, but making the PDF from LaTeX copy-able is mostly a matter of putting this in the preamble.
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} \usepackage[T1]{fontenc}

Huh, totally weird. Maybe it's an encoding issue? The character appear to be getting shifted by -39 (ex. c 143 ->D 104) I never noticed because I'm typesetting for print.

I think you need to use some PDF package to have the encoding set correctly. I had the same issue in the past, but I don't remember how I solved it.
