----------------------------------------
Hi,
that’s not a bug. Adobe Reader produces a similar result i.e. most of the text
can not be extracted. Rendering a PDF and text extraction are two different
things so the fact that the text is visible in a viewing app does not mean that
it can be extracted with the same representation.
