I could not reproduce the issue:
- neither with the PDF viewer embedded in firefox v26.0
- nor with Adobe Reader XI.
It is possible, that the issue only occurs with some PDF readers? With reader do you use?

I use the "Document Viewer 1.2.0" which can be launched with "atril".
When using Foxit Reader the text order is correct.
That is very good news. Thanks a lot for testing.

As the output format is pdf/a i am worried why some pdf readers cannot handle the text correctly. I see three possible reasons: 1) pdf/a is not well enough defined 2) The reader is really not accaptable 3) The output is not 100% pdf/a
As i want to use OCRmyPDF for archiving files, the text output could be unreadable in future.

1 and 3 are not the reason.
OCRmyPDF uses very mature tools (e.g. ghostscript) to generate the PDF/A file. Furthermore, OCRmyPDF validates the generated file against the PDF/A standard using jhove. Therefore the risk is very low that the file will won't be readable in the future. (Alltough I use OCRmyPDF for archiving files too, I cannot / won't provide any warranty...)
As discribed in #66, because the text layer is made of disconnected words and lines, basic PDF-reader can have difficulties to select the text accurately/reliably. Advanced PDF-readers should not have any problem. Seaching for words in the PDF should be possible even with basic PDF-readers.
If I have time, I will analyze how it is possible to improve selection accuracy on basic some PDF-readers. Therefore, I reopen the ticket.

Tesseract's PDF renderer should do a better job of this in Tess 3.04.01
