Adobe Reader Search problem

Community Beginner ,
Jun 23, 2009 Jun 23, 2009

Since Adobe Reader 9 we have a problem with the "find" (search the content of pdf files). Sometimes it works fine and sometimes the search result highlights incorrect words.

We use now Adobe Reader 9.1.2 but had the same problem on 9.1.0. It seems that the count of results is correct, but not the highlightet word. The files have the PDF-version 1.4.

Do anyone know the problem or have an idea whats wrong?

The Problem was not Adobe Reader!

We use ScanSoft PDF Create! to create the PDF files directly from Word 2007. In the tool settings we activated now the option "Optimize for Web Viewing". Now it works correctly with every testet document.

But it still strange, that we didn't had the Problem with Adobe Reader 8.

Many thanks for your support.
