Dictionary does not recognize words in reader

I regularly encounter that in the reader the dictionary fails to recognize words consisting of two hanzi as one word (eg "老婆"). This happens even though these words are in the dictionary. (It would merely offer the translation of the characters (eg "老" and "婆") individually.)
Any ideas as to what I could do about that?

Thanks for your reply. The files are all regular pdf files.

I have a second problem: I uploaded another pdf file into the reader about an hour ago. In this one no definitions show up at all when I tap on the characters. (And when I search the document for a hanzi that I know does occur in the text, the search does not yield any results.)
Thank you in advance for any help.

That could just be a botched OCR / encoding conversion; if you open it in another PDF reader and copy out text, does it work correctly or give you an error?
