If it's a PDF then forget what I told you about pandoc, because here
pandoc would have nothing to do. I thought you were referring to files
in epub format, sorry.

In the case of PDFs, I would use pdftotext. It converts the PDF to plain
text and (in theory) removes hyphens from the PDF after conversion. The
resulting plain text is somewhat ugly (page numbers and other elements
are preserved), but if you just want to copy/paste text, I think it's
enough.

The command:

pdftotext my-file.pdf
