It is not detected as ISBN number, not 10 nor 13 digits format. I supse is because the text string does not have the right length for scan.py/_evaluate_isbn_match
function to detect it.
I'm not a python programmer though.
Could any knowledgeable fellow to comment on possible solutions?

Valid is ISBN:0750647906 and ISBN:0-7506-4790-6 not ISBN 0 7506 4790 6

It may be an invalid way to write it down, but that's not really a problem here. The regex used by the plugin will recognize it, so the problem is elsewhere.
(just try to add "ISBN 0 7506 4790 6" anywhere in an epub and the plugin as no problem detecting it)

The plugin probably have difficulty accessing the text of the pdf.
