I have Adobe Acrobat DC and whenever I attempt to search a Hebrew pdf I never get results. Is there any add on I can download to search in Hebrew? Thank you.@

Correct answer Dov Isaacs

is there any way to fix it?


Yakov,

Based on the fonts showed above, can we assume that the PDF was created from a DavkaWriter document?

Over the years, DavkaWriter had a reputation for using non-standard Hebrew fonts and font encodings which may be the source of the problem.

One long shot for “fixing” the file would be to try subjecting it to Acrobat Pro's Preflight Profile List potential font problems. Based on what comes out of that, you might try Preflight fixes such as Fix font encoding (CIDSet) and Fix font encoding (CharSet).

Should work just fine... Are you sure the encoding of the text in the file is correct? Can you select it with the mouse? If so, what do you see if you copy it and then paste it in another application, like Word?

That means the font encoding of the file is incorrect.
