The original problem was an opaque COPY watermark instead of the text. That problem has now been fixed (update to poppler 0.6 if you use evince and are still seeing this).
The problem identified in comment #4 and #5 is related to Optional Content implementation. This is the relevant part of the PSSISCUG-EN.pdf document:

That might be quite hard to implement in poppler without an API change...
OK, there are two different problems here.
The original problem was an opaque COPY watermark instead of the text. That problem has now been fixed (update to poppler 0.6 if you use evince and are still seeing this).
The problem identified in comment #4 and #5 is related to Optional Content implementation.
