Dear Vaheh,
the PDF-file is not a "proper" PDF-file. It is an image encapsulated into
PDF, which is why it does not contain any text!
You could try a text recognition software. In the Linux-/Unix-world, gocr is
probably to most popular one. Since it is a courier font, your chances should be
pretty good that it works.
