python - Reading nothing from a pdf file using PyPDF2

Question

I want to convert a pdf file to json format. So I was using PyPDF2 module to read the pdf. But I am unable to read it. I gives me some " " characters but no text. The pdf I am using can be retrieve from here: pdf_to_json.pdf

The code I am using is:

import PyPDF2

file = open("pdf_to_json.pdf", "rb")

pdf = PyPDF2.PdfFileReader(file)

page_one = pdf.getPage(0)

page_one.extractText()

It's returning something like this:
