What happens instead is only a handful of letters are selectable as per https://launchpadlibrarian.net/41742091/Screenshot-2.png . First reported against Ubuntu 9.10 evince 2.28.1-0ubuntu1.2 / poppler-utils 0.12.4-0ubuntu4.

You aren't going to be able to copy and paste any readable text from it. The document doesn't use a standard encoding or include a way to map from charcode to text, so at best you're going to get a bunch of random letters and control characters.
