This is working as intended, though it is confusing. The file has permissions that provide "security" and says copying is not allowed. So the PDF Viewer is honoring that permission and not letting you copy text. Of course, the security is rather lax, and the transformed PDF shown in print preview does not carry the same security bits. |
