Error reading pdfs from Google books.

I am a scholar and I have used Nitro for a long time. One major problem with Nitro is that it seems to have trouble with books downloaded from Google books, which, as a historian, I use frequently. Unlike Acrobat, it inserts spaces between each character in the OCR text, making it impossible to search the text. Example:
 B e s i d e s t h e m o r e d i r e c t a d v a n t a g e s r e s u l t i n g f r o m t h e s t u d y o f s y n o n y m s , 

Same text copied in acrobat:
Besides the more direct advantages resulting from the study of synonyms

This greatly reduces the utility of Nitro for my work. Is there a way to remedy this?
