That's my problem folks. I have to do a language work, and I can't copy text, without removing every accents.

Welcome to SX. Could you please give more detail about your problem? Copy from where to where? –  zunbeltz Mar 20 '13 at 20:29

I assumed that your problem appears when running pdflatex on a document containing special characters from Spanish and copying from the resulting PDF file to another file.

In this case, to prevent the problem, simply use the Cork encoding: add in the preamble


If you don't do this, then special characters (accented vowels, the tilde in the "ñ" and the crema, in Spanish) won't be copyable from the obtained PDF document.
