[QUESTION] PDF is unlocked but not editable/selectable #2017

Hi guys, I hope you can help me. I just bought a book from Google Play Books and unlocked the file, a pdf.acsm ADE 4.5.11 Calibre 5.36 DeDRM 7.2.1

Foxit Reader shows me that the DRM was broken, everything is allowed, but I can't select/search anything! I thought it could, for some weird reason, had been converted to image, but tried passing it trough FreeOCR and the PDF opens as blank, just the cover and tabs/diagrams/illustrations showing.

Anyone knows why this happened and how can I make it work? Bought this damned expensive thing because I need to study it and now can't even highlight the text T_T

For non-DRM ebook issues, I recommend asking over in the MobileRead.com forums.
