I got a text that is written in German. I'm using \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} since the text comes with the correct umlauts like ö, ä, ü and not "o, "a, "u. The output is pretty fine. 

\documentclass[12pt,a4paper,ngerman]{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[ngerman]{babel}  

%\input{glyphtounicode}
%\pdfgentounicode=1

\parindent0pt

\begin{document}
Viele Menschen sollten denken können, aber möchten es nicht. Dies ist ein Text den ich im PDF sehen möchte.
\end{document}

But when I'm trying to copy text from the output (PDF) to Word, then I get the following:

Viele Menschen sollten denken k¨onnen, aber m¨ochten es nicht. Dies ist ein Text den ich im PDF sehen m¨ochte.

Question: Any workaround here? The PDF text must support Copy&Paste. The glyphtounicode didn't help. Any idea?

    Try to add \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} or \usepackage{lmodern} since Computer Modern doesn't have pre-composed accented characters.

Found it. I just had to add another line \usepackage[T1]{fontenc}.
