I tried too but nothing got parsed.
I don't know why. The PDF looks ok BTW.

Using qpdf input.pdf output.pdf may have fixed the file. Can you please try again with this file?

Thanks for the answer! After qpdf the file can be analyzed and metadata is also found (pages, title, etc.), but unfortunately I cannot find any text again.
