Inspired by this question i used accsupp
to protect the headers of my pdf from being copied which works nicely so far.
I tried to do the same thing for the footnotemarks which hasn't worked so far. Screenshot:
I tried using:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{accsupp}
\renewcommand{\thefootnote}{%
\BeginAccSupp{ActualText={}}\arabic{footnote}\EndAccSupp{}%
}
\begin{document}
This is a test\footnote{This is a footnote}
\end{document}
An ideas? The actual text of the footnote should stay selectable.
