pfd example

when running pdftotext without further options on the attached pdf file the text output revereses words in the content.
The Header is not reversed.
Acrobat reader shows the PDF correctly and as well exports the text correctly.

It's quite interesting that Ctrl+A and Ctrl+C give you a completely destroyed text while "Save as Text" gets it right.

The bug still occurs with version 0.18.4. Using pdftotext on the attached file ("another pdf on which...") I get reversed words.
