Description Jose Aliste 2011-02-15 09:11:37 UTC 
If you do pdftotext to the file 
http://zelmanov.ptep-online.com/ctan/lshort_russian.pdf you get unreadable text. 

The reason seems to be related with encoding. If I use iconv to convert the text asumming it comes from CP1251, it gets readable.

The same unreadable text Adobe Reader returns. Complain to whoever created the document.
