Its because the file contains an image of the contents rather than text. You'll need to put it through an OCR engine.

Hello All, On many occasions I have downloaded and then attempted to open PDF files, e.g. cooker manuals, such as the Beko D532 electric cooker manual on the Beko website. This manual, on opening it with the PDF Reader, gives an "empty Document" message and nothing is displayed. If you then save it as a TXT file, the file is indeed empty. Does anyone know why this happens from time to time? Why would a manual be offered by a website that has nothing in it?
