Then the file contains images, not real text. There's nothing you can do about that in Reader, I'm afraid.

Are you able to select the text? If so, what happens when you copy it and then paste into another application, like Notepad? Does it appear correctly?

No, selecting text does not work properly. Using the selection tool gives
me the same result as if I used the snapshot tool. It takes a picture, it
does not select letters or words.
