Adobe Reader breaks the possibility of extraction of text

Hello world!

I am trying to find the cause of a very specific problem with three components involved.

1. a specific type of pdf file (created using the iText library)

2. adobe Reader

3. virtual printer PDF nova.

When I open the PDF file in Adobe Reader and then print it with the virtual printer of Nova, the pdf file seems fine. However, it is Impossible to extract text from her (programmatically).

If I repeat with Adobe Reader replaced with the "Nuance PDF Reader" PDF reader, it works as expected. I can extract text of the resulting PDF file.

Anyone can shed light on what is happening here? Why grade succeeds where PDF Reader fails? (I can send files for example for two scenarios if necessary.)

Thanks in advance!
