With xpdf i can copy the code w/o problem (but i tried only some
examples from beginning, like "-- defines a factorial function" and form
end, like "Listing 31.7. Registering libraries to be opened on demand").

Isn't maybe some encoding/font/somewhat issue with other pdf readers?
(i'we seen this problem with others pdf before, usually with xpdf unable
to c&p correctly).

Btw, i'm not speaking about protected pdf's, in this case xpdf just
complains.
