Hi,

With the last version Acrobat DC 2023.006.20360 | 64bits on Windows 11 Pro, I can't find text in some PDF files like my attachment test.pdf.

For example, if you search for the word "Paris" there is no match.
Another clue is that if I select and copy the word "Paris" into the file and paste it into the search box, this is what I get: "􀀳􀁄􀁕􀁌􀁖".
I've never encountered this problem before.

Regards

test.pdf

The encoding of all characters in this file is incorrect. You can see it if you double-click the word "Paris".

First of all, it will select the entire line, instead of just that word, and if you copy it to another application it will not paste correctly, but as a bunch of junk characters. Maybe the other viewers choose to ignore that, but Adobe apps won't.
