It there is no text in the document then it will generate an empty preview. I don't have the code in front of me at the moment, but I wouldn't be surprised if a book with no text produces some error message.

BTW: some PDFs are a combination of images and underlying text. The image is the "main" document and the text is used when selecting. The text is often generated by OCR and equally often has a very weak relationship with the text shown in the image. I don't remember if in this situation, calibre will try to grab the underlying text.
