I believe it's because that text is written in a non-standard font which is only partially embedded in the file, called "TTE1890348t00"... You can see it for yourself if you open the file in Acrobat and try to copy that text using the text selection tool. The result is just a bunch of unreadable unicode symbols. Other text in the file uses Arial or some other standard fonts, and therefore can be read easily.
