Yup, if that's the case Adobe should disable the feature once compressed or warn the user. Problem here is what happens when I find an old case file that has been compressed by me or by another without my knowledge. Then I merge that file with another argument for a case. The user can have damaged references. I seen this issue also when you copy and paste from preview.app to acrobat from a compressed pdf. I put it in a motion to excuse myself from an error I didn't catch, I believe I blamed Apple at the time. Lol. Gotta clear my name! If a user highlights (selects) something, then paste it, they expect to see the same verbatim they copied. When it's a big piece of data or in a hurry they might miss the loss.
