Probably because most (if not all) free PDF-generating programs take the easy way of creating PDFs i.e. exporting it as an image-like (sorry don't know exactly what it is) file. As a result, there is no text/image distinction, so you will net be able to search/select anything. Also, the files are much larger. Adobe Acrobat, on the other hand, generates the PDFs properly, so that text is actually text that can be searched, selected, highlighted, etc. Granted, they have no excuse at not making the best PDF files, having invented the format and all.
