Unfortunately this PDF is not properly encoded. Copying text on Firefox, Chrome and Adobe Reader all results in gibberish.

@wojtekmaj it's been a while since this issue was created. Is there any update on this thread: mozilla/pdf.js#10205? Or in which version can i go back to have the text in svg rendering correctly?

I wish I was able to do anything about it.

Or in which version can i go back to have the text in svg rendering correctly?

Last React-PDF version not using pdf.js 2.0.550 or newer was 3.0.6. But, uh, it's 3 years old.

Thanks a lot for the answer :) . I'll try the older versions and see if it's good enough. I wish you great week anyway!
