Can't select and copy text from PDFs

Can't select and copy text from PDFs. This is an absolute non-starter for me. Back to Firefox.

@emooz No problem here:
The default line spacing for 10 point text is 11.52
points. A full range of Latin characters means it can be
used for Pali, Sanskrit, Romanised Indic scripts,
nearly all European languages, and Vietnamese.

@emooz are you really sure the PDF you're trying actually contains text that can be selected with other pdf viewers? Some PDF can contain only images, selectable text isn't even mandatory.
Care to share a link where this happens?
EDIT: OK there is some kind of focus problem on the internal PDF viewer, sometimes the url has focus and Ctrl-C copies the url in the clipboard, so you have to use the right click context menu, or press ESC once to lose focus on the url, then Ctrl-C. Something to be fixed for sure.
But who I'm talking to, he's back to firefox at the first difficulty... -
In some pdf the text is not copiable or only partially, being photocopies of an original, that is, images.
In this case an OCR application is needed to extract the text and be able to copy it.In the PDF of @Pesala I do not have problems to copy it directly, but in this it is only possible partially in fragments of text

and in this one is imposible
