The original gedit text is lost. For Instance I wrote in gedit the following text: "Text to testing PDF production" and I have created a PDF document. I open the PDF in Evince and I select and copy the text. Then I paste the text into gedit again and following strange character are displayed: "8I\X XS XIWXMRK 4(* TVSHYGXMSR" I attach to this post the two files (txt and pdf), so you can test if the problem is present on your PC too.
