If clicking at various locations in the pdf doesn't allow you to select
an operator with a text parameter, and "Extract text from page" is not
an option on the "Page" menu, then the document is probably just an
image. Will Ocular let you copy selected text to the clipboard?
If the document is an image, just use GIMP to add the text (yes it works
with pdfs).

Note: strings will tell you a bit about your pdf's structure.
