Do I need to install fonts to convert text in pdfs?

I'm playing around with some pdf's and there are some that don't have the text in the resulting images.

Two of these documents:

http://www.sfcontroller.org/modules/sho ... entid=4935

I've done a little googling and it seems like I might need to get some support for new fonts. Here's the blog post that makes me thing that:

How do I go about getting the fonts I need and installing them on windows 8?

Thanks a bunch!

CAFR2013.pdf converts for me without complaint. Every page has something on it. (IM 6.8.8-0 on Windows 8.1) Ghostscript has never told me it couldn't open a font.
