[Bug 49498] With Evince I can't copy text out from PDF documents created with cups-pdf

[Nicola Jelmorini]

Public bug reported:

When I create PDF documents with the cups-pdf printer, after, I can't select text and copy it out from the PDF itself.
The strange thing is that when I have installed the cups-pdf printer with the gnome-cups-manager, I have printed the test page. In this case, and only in this case, when I opened the pdf created in Evince I am able to copy the text and paste it elsewhere.
The problem is that when I use the cups-pdf from other tools like gedit, I can create PDF documents, but when I open it in Evince, I can't copy text out. These documents are like "protected" from copying.


The step to reproduce are:
1) install cups-pdf
2) open gnome-cups-manager and install the new printer, then make a test pressing the
    "Print a test page" button
3) open in Evince the just created PDF document and try to copy the text ====> you are able to do
4) open gedit, write something, and choose to create a PDF with cups-pdf
5) open in Evince the PDF document just created and try to copy the text ====> you aren't able to do
