Why can't Adobe Reader find or search for words on a PDF document?

Apr 24, 2012 5:58 AM

I have seen where people have the same problem whoes comments where dated back in June 2011.  WHEN WILL THIS PROBLEM BE FIXED?  I am sent PDF files with multiple pages of documents that I have to go through.  I need to find documents by employee names.  Please help.

    Are you able to select the text? If not, then it's probably just a scanned image of text, not real text. In that case there's nothing you can do about it unless you run OCR on the document in Acrobat or some other similar application.
