Atril should work (and Evince as well, possibly better), but you might 
need to turn on caret browsing (F7).

Also note that this will only give useful results with PDFs containing 
proper text, e.g. it won't help reading images embedded inside PDFs.  If 
that's the kind of PDFs you have trouble with, you'll have to use an OCR 
solution.
