I am using Adobe Acrobat Reader DC.

I have an arabic text in pdf document in which I am unable to search for words. No words in the document are found even though they do exist.

I will appreciate any help as to why I cannot search for words in the document.

Can you make sure that your text is not an image, or outlined?

It could be related to the fonts used in the PDF, let us know what are the fonts used in the document by going to the following menu… File > Properties, then click on the "Fonts" tab to see the list of Arabic fonts. To make it easier for you, do provide screenshot of the list.

It's not an image, but I don't know if it's outlined or not

Hi Zaid, I'm using Adobe Arabic, but it is not searchable. It seems that Adobe Acrobat didn't fix the problem, even with their font.

best regards
