People,
I you import the attached PDF - you will see that some characters are missing (eg look at words "Office*"). pdftotext extracts the text properly.

Reproduced with Inkscape 0.47+devel r9456 on OS X 10.5.8
The character 'i' from the sequence 'fi' is missing in the imported PDF file if the sequence is written in a font that uses ligatures for 'fi' (in this case 'Myriad Pro').
I don't have the font installed and can't verify if the missing font is the reason why the 'i's are dropped - the default fallback font 'Sans' doesn't use ligatures on my platform (Bitstream Vera Sans).
Can someone with the font installed test if ligatures 'fi' are imported correctly?

Hello everyone,
I'm testing on OS X (10.6.3) with inkscape 0.47 and Myriad Pro installed.
Ligatures are not imported correctly.
I hope that helps.

Actually this has already been reported in the bug tracker:
Bug #271614 “ligatures dropped from imported PDF text” https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/271614
The example attached in bug #271614 also uses the font 'Myriad Pro'.
I can't reproduced it with PDFs exported by Inkscape (using a font with ligatures like DejaVu Sans) and then reopened in Inkscape.
Note: The reverse problem (dropping the last character on export to PDF) has already been fixed in 0.47.: Bug #218045 https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/218045
