@JSWolf - the OP converted an ePub to PDF, so perhaps the ePub is image based.

@memeplex - try opening the ePub in the calibre book editor (ebook-edit.exe) and have a look inside to check if it's text based. Also try creating the pdf via the calibre book viewer (ebook-viewer.exe) print function - last button on toolbar.

And maybe try another pdf reader - on Windows, PDF XChange is pretty good.
