What does "with text" mean, here?

Ah, now you tell us. OK, starting over:
> In emacs23 you immediately get the unable to render file prompt.
Indeed, and it prompts me if I want to see the extracted text (I said
yes, and it did show me the text).
> In 24, you get the pdf raw.
Indeed. I can't remember this being a conscious change, so it looks

Yup, I get that too.

Hmmm... I don't see that here (with Debian's "emacs24 -nw -Q foo.pdf"),
it shows me the extracted text just fine.
