Hi Oliver,

it works for me with the beta 2011.01.12 and 2011.01.14 and poppler-0.14.5/ 
poppler-0.16.0.

However, it turns out that pdftotext converts to

fi ff ffi ffl 1234567890,

splitting fi ligature while leaving ff, ffi and ffl intact, which is strange.

I did not try with Adobe Reader but the pdf is searchable with Apple Preview 
and the pasted copy is still intact:

fi ff ffi ffl 1234567890

Florian
