SUMMARY

When copy pasting from a specific PDF the text comes out as random symbols on paste. Also find function doesn't recognize that text. Both features does work if I open the same file on firefox.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1.  Open the PDF attached in okular
2.  Select text
3.  ctrl+c
4.  open kate
5.  ctrl+v

OBSERVED RESULT
On kate the only random symbols are pasted

EXPECTED RESULT
The selected text is pasted as I can read it.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Operating System: Arch Linux
KDE Plasma Version: 5.26.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.102.0
Qt Version: 5.15.8
Kernel Version: 6.1.11-arch1-1 (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: Wayland

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The same feature works as intended on firefox and text is correctly selectable on okular so I don't think it's a file problem.
