This is probably a stupid question, but is your PDF rendering text or an image, such a a scanned-in page, or text rendered to an image before being imported into the PDF? I'm not quite sure how you can check that. If your copy of Acrobat has the capability, can you perform an OCR on the document?

NAME
hocr2pdf - hOCR to PDF converter of the ExactImage toolkit SYNOPSIS
hocr2pdf [option...] {-i | --input} input-file {-o | --output} output-file hocr2pdf {-h | --help} DESCRIPTION
ExactImage is a fast C++ image processing library. Unlike many other library frameworks it allows operation in several color spaces and bit depths natively, resulting in low memory and computational requirements. hocr2pdf creates well layouted, searchable PDF files from hOCR (annotated HTML) input obtained from an OCR system. OPTIONS
-i file, --input file Read image from the specified file. Note that input hOCR is read from the standard input. -o file, --output file Save output PDF to the specified file. -n, --no-image Don't place the image over the text. By default the text layer is hidden behind the image. -s, --sloppy-text Sloppily place text, group words, do not draw single glyphs. -r n, --resolution n Override resolution of the input image to n dpi. The default resolution (if not specified in the input file) is 300 dpi. -h, --help Display help text and exit. EXAMPLE
$ hocr2pdf -i scan.tiff -o test.pdf < cuneiform-out.hocr SEE ALSO
