Add "please don't copy/paste from PDF" note near Abstract text box
If you copy/paste the abstract from a PDF, it includes all the line breaks. If the abstract is on more than one page, it copies the page number(s) too.
My library uses ExLibris Esploro, and it's set up that when we deliver something to Proquest, it imports automatically to Esploro. So, if the abstract is full of line breaks, we have to fix them by hand at some point. If we can have the student take care of that instead by telling them not to copy/paste from the PDF, would be nice.
Edit to add: This is the page I use to fix bad line breaks, not sure if such a functionality could be added to ETD Admin (on the student side or the admin side). https://www.textfixer.com/tools/remove-line-breaks.php
