a PDF document printed with cups-pdf

This PDF document was written with gedit and printed with the cups-pdf virtual
printer.
When I open this PDF document with Evince, I'm not able to select text and copy
out.

Just to try, I have installed the Adobe Reader package.
I have opened the PDF document printed with cups-pdf in Adobe Reader and here I
can copy out the text.
Therefore the problem is in the Evince document viewer."
