I love to use Evince, is one of the best software for visualize a lot of things, including pdfs. I use it many times with LaTeX. Also, before I could select text and copy it, but now, with Ubuntu 14.04 it's impossible!!!

I don't know why or what happen, but the version available by default with Ubuntu 14.04 is very restricted, limited. The versión is the 3.10.3 but if I download it from the web (in Windows e.g.) I can customize it easily and use it as before. Why not in Ubuntu?

In a nutshell: Do you know how can I use Evince as before? Should I uninstall it and download it from outside? How?

You might wish to try Atril, the Evince fork included with Mate. It seems to include all the original features that where there before the Gnome folk decided to "kill the desktop".

You need to add the Mate PPA before installing:

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ubuntu-mate-dev/ppa
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ubuntu-mate-dev/trusty-mate
sudo apt-get install atril
