Read out loud only speaks numbers and symbols rather than content

I am having trouble with a PDF document and the Read Out Loud feature. Read out loud works for other documents. This PDF file particularly only speaks a series of numbers and symbols such as "*#6%#$" ...etc.  The content is words. 

Can anyone tell me what is different with this PDF and if I can do something that allows me to use the Read Out Loud feature?  Thanks

Under the Description tab it says PDF is not tagged. I went through the assistant setup and the Change Reading Options of Current Document to "Infer Reading Order from document" and "Read the entire document" selected.  It then processed the document.
