Hello Pulkit,

This site requires registration. This is a "don't" from the list:
https://pdfbox.apache.org/support.html

I don't want to register.

Please find a sharehoster that doesn't require registration to download.

If the XObject that Karl Heinz Kremer mentioned is a form then text 
extraction should work, especially if it was possible to extract with 
Adobe Reader. If it is an image then it won't. Apache Tika might help.

Please mention what you did to get the text with PDFBox, and what 
version you were using.

You wrote "using readText function from the pdfbox library". There is no 
"readText" method in PDFBox. Could it be that you used a different product?
