PDFs that read one word per line

Good morning,

Once in a while I run across a PDF that reads with JAWS one word per
line (example URL below). Even when saving the PDF as text the
content is saved one word per line. Can anyone tell me if there is a
common structural error that people are making with these documents,
and if so what it might be?

Example PDF document that reads and saves one word per line:

Thanks,
Everett
