PDF: Select All does not select parts of text

I have a problem with selecting whole text in PDF page. When using Edit->Select All most of the text is selected, but some parts remains unselected (see attachement). I'm working with editable pdf, generated by the system. Is there any way to really select all text within this document? Is it different way (than Select All) I reach those missing parts?  I'm using Adobe Acrobat Pro X.

This is not a Blue Prism issue - this is simply related to how your PDF is constructed.   I think there is at least one guide on this portal in relation to interfacing with PDFs - if you are using Adobe Pro you might have better luck using some of the export options to save your pdf as a Word or XML document that will be easier to interface with.

Thank you Denis for response! I've tried this as well, but when I try to export that pdf - the thing is that those unselected parts are not exported (just blanks). I wonder if anyone faced that issue before and how did he handle that?
