Hello nileshtapkir,
Welcome to our forums.
Can you please share the page in question (if confidential please e-mail it to support@tracker-softwar.com) - as we would need to take a look. I suspect that your Cad software might have converted all the text to curves, and while it still looks like text to a human - machines can't.
Kind regards,
Stefan

nileshtapkir,
That's how the PDF was generated.
See How to create selectable and searchable text in a PDF from AutoCAD

P.S. I've also formatted the link a bit.
