Example of file with this issue

Hi, I find some documents where the selection of text doesn't work correctly. Instead of the text selected I've got some kind of distorted text.

Eg. this file: http://www.psixpda.com/sites/default/files/PsiXpda-Spec-Sheet.pdf
(I attach the file too)
If I select "Specifications" I've got 
"Spe ii a i
c fc tons"

I tested this with Evince 2.28.1 and 2.29.3 with poppler 0.12 and with Okular 0.9.2
