It seems that GS converted the text in the file to graphical elements. You can see it in Acrobat if you open the Contents panel, and you can also see that the text in the file is not selectable, and therefore can't be extracted. You'll need to look for a solution in GS. It has nothing to do with how PDFBox works, as there's just no text to read in that file.
