Well, less can extract the text; so I don't see why that's an issue.

It’s only an issue with crap PDFs (it’s possible to omit text information or obfuscate it to the point you copy & paste garbage out of them; pdfTeX-created PDFs are of course fine).

It doesn't work often for multi column pdfs or tables, ligatures are usually misparsed, and maths is just destroyed.
