This seems to have been fixed now. I can 'print' a PDF (for example this page) and select text, then paste it into Gedit and the text is pasted correctly.
Unfortunately I'm not positive when it was fixed: the only updates that seems might have effected it are the following, which I upgraded on Jan 3rd. cups (1.3.9-2ubuntu4) to 1.3.9-2ubuntu6 cups-bsd (1.3.9-2ubuntu4) to 1.3.9-2ubuntu6 cups-client (1.3.9-2ubuntu4) to 1.3.9-2ubuntu6 cups-common (1.3.9-2ubuntu4) to 1.3.9-2ubuntu6 ghostscript (8.63.dfsg.1-0ubuntu6) to 8.63.dfsg.1-0ubuntu6.1 ghostscript-x (8.63.dfsg.1-0ubuntu6) to 8.63.dfsg.1-0ubuntu6.1 libcups2 (1.3.9-2ubuntu4) to 1.3.9-2ubuntu6 libcupsimage2 (1.3.9-2ubuntu4) to 1.3.9-2ubuntu6 Unfortunately, the original PDFs created with the older programs/libraries appear to be permanently corrupted, as they cannot be printed to the new PDF (copying gives even stranger characters than the original). Thank you for fixing this. I would close this but I don't know how to go about doing that.
