[poppler] No text extracted by pdftohtml

[Jaime Gómez Obregón]

Hi everybody,

It seems poppler is being unable to extract text in some PDF files:

http://iteisa.com/tmp/poppler-sample.pdf (11 Mb)

pdftohtml from poppler 0.12.4 and 0.12.2 is not able to extract the 
text, and evince shows the document correctly but it's unable to select 
it's text. However acroread shows and selects the text correctly (so 
it's normal, editable text and not an image).

Is it normal? Is there any workaround for this?

Everything seems ok with the file:

$ pdfinfo poppler-sample.pdf
