It is impossible to make a program, that shows you a PDF, to know what to show
you, and at the same time, not know what to put to clipboard when you ask for
that (even if you provide a raster image instead of textual data, the app will
still be able to put the raster image to the clipboard, if it chooses so). So -
it is only a weak protection, based on voluntary agreement of the PDF reader
software to honor the protection flags.

Try with other apps that generate protected PDFs; Atril doesn't care what the
generator is (or all generators are buggy).

You may want to file a bug report to Atril.
