PDF test case with Chinese punctuation

As reported in https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evince/issues/384:

When open a Chinese pdf file and copy the Chinese punctuation text, the Chinese punctuation will become English punctuation.

For example:
。,:!
will become
.,:!

The image attached shows the resulting text copied from Acroread, Foxit, and Poppler-glib-demo.

To my eyes, it is clear the distinction that the reporter tried to make.
