Public bug reported:
https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/33288

Affects: evince (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed

Description:
When making a multi column selection from a PDF like this:

http://www.specialist-games.com/mordheim/assets/lrb/1Rules.pdf

And pasting the result into OpenOffice.org the columns are not
maintained. The results unusable because the text from both columns
becomes mixed.

Please note, this is not a PDF problem, using Adobe Acrobat Reader 7.x
under Windows does properly copy-paste columned text over to
OpenOffice.org.
