If you look for "xpdf", you find that 11.1 was the last release to have it "officially". It is only available now from a home repo (and the info on it says "broken", although the rpm exists). Okular is based instead in "poppler", which the wikipedia says it is a fork of xpdf, as a library to make easier to use xpdf code.
Testing some paste from a file I have. Paste using xpdf: +++···················· 1 13,99 ⬠13, 99 ⬠Disqueteras Teac Disquetera Art.-Nr.:BFF#04 Disquetera 34 pines, 3,5 pulgadas, 1,44 MB ····················++- paste using kpdf: +++···················· 1 13,99 € 13, 99 € Disqueteras Teac Disquetera Art.-Nr.:BFF#04 Disquetera 34 pines, 3,5 pulgadas, 1,44 MB ····················++- paste using okular: +++···················· Disqueteras Teac Disquetera Art.-Nr.:BFF#04 Disquetera 34 pines, 3,5 pulgadas, 1,44 MB 1 13,99€ 9913, € ····················++- Notice that both kpdf and xpdf align the text correctly, whereas oklular does not. But xpdf uses the wrong charset, it apparently doesn't handle UTF, or there is some configuration issue. Ah, for those that love acroread ;-), selecting and pasting that text as text is plain impossible. It insists on *also* selecting text from random places in the page. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E.
