Since some days Adobe does not find any word in the docoment. Even if I copy(Ctr F + Crt F) a word in the search windows. I receive allways the message. Document searched, no hits.

What I can do?

    Correct answer Hansueli5C41

    I'm sorry, I was trying to think of any possible reason.

     

    • Does it find other words in this document?
    • Was OCR used to convert this from an image to text?

    Meanwhile I found a work around. I installed Pdf XChange Editor from Tracker Software.With this software I have no problem. Therefor I believe that it is not a problem of my documents.

    What can you see when you copy text from the PDF file and paste it in Notepad?

    Is a notepad a special computer or an app for you? I can definitely copy the text from the pdf document into Word, for example, and search it there using the corresponding function. I can also find the words there. But I normally expect a reader to spare me this way.
