This is a problem with the Text layout algorithm inside TextOutputDev:

Running pdftotext gives the following ordering of paragraphs (the ellipsis are
mine):

1. Apart from the emphasis ...

2. about this attitude ...

3. Integrative contractors
Our research has ...

4. Integrative clients
Integrative attitudes ...

5. Integrative contractors’ engineers
Integrative ...

6. Distributive attitudes ...

7. Economically ...

8. An integrative attitude to the occupational order?
An integrative ...

while it should be 1,3,5,2,4,6,7,8. The fact that in evince we can't select
just one column is a consequence of this misorder in the paragraphs.
