Hi Attila,

        The first PDF [1] have a graphical layout the second not (is just only plain text). I think that the 
page structure in first document is related with a11y navigation in Acroread.

        Maybe ocrfeeder should solve your problem (a bit time and resources consuming) if responsiveness is 
not a must.
