Cannot search pdf file

I have pdf files that opens, prints etc very well. But I can't find the word fo them. He simplys can't find words that are actually in the document.

If I copy and paste a part of the text the word (or more), it shows strange charecters:

It should have said: INTERNATIONAL

My thought is that it could be a strange kind of copy protection of documents in order to avoid copy and paste in the document, which, as a side effect, mess up the search function...

Any ideas what to do or what the problem is?

Look at the tab fonts in the document properties.

I use Adobe Reader

    I have a printer HP LaserJet CP1525nw color less than a year.  Have always been able to print PDF files. Changed my color toners & now cannot print PDF files.

    It seems that something has been added in the folder on the drive. I would recommend http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.htmluninstalling the program, running, removing any left over parts of the record player (this could be the problem), reboot and reinstall. If all goes well, that solved the problem. Future questions about the player, you should consider asking in the forum of reader, is not.

    Thank you very much!

    No, not at all. Similarly, Applications (in the Finder), start you Mac applications. In the latest versions of Mac OS, you can also use the launch pad, which does the same thing.

    If you think that it is which means 'open', or 'start' or 'run', it would be better, but the 'launch' is the official word from Apple.

  • Cannot open PDF files on Web sites, or when it is attached to the email!

    Hello
    My computer is running Vista and I had this problem for the last 2 years! I can only receive the PDF sent by one of the companies I work for. I can't open most PDF files sent by attachment or all the files on Web sites. I have Adobe 9 and Foxit Reader and it does not work with either. I tried to re - install Adobe and still no luck. With Foxit Reader that I can manage to open the PDF files sent from the company I mentioned earlier, but that's all. I would really appreciate some help... Thank you very much! :) x

    Try this: uninstall all the software that you have to display the PDF documents. Then try to open a PDF file. You should receive a message that "Windows cannot open this file". If you get the message that the file is "corrupt" or "not supported" means that you have another program or display of PDF files.
    Once you receive a message that "Windows cannot open this file" download and install the latest version of Adobe Reader (9.3).

  • My HP Color LaserJet CP1518ni cannot print .pdf files

    Dear,

    I have a printing problem with my HP Color LaserJet CP1518ni (function USB my iMAC), since I installed the OSX Mavericks.

    Although my printer print word files, cannot print .pdf, even through the software PREVIEW or ACROBAT files.

    It gives the break signal... any solution about that?

    It is very annoying.

    Thanks in advance for your comments or help!

    Hi Kpanag

    I understand that you cannot print the PDF files from the upgrade to Maverick.

    I'll be happy to help you with this.

    I check and repair the authorization to drive on the Mac.
    Go on the hard drive of the Mac, applications, utilities, disk utility, click Mac hardrive left side, click on verify disk permissions, when it is finished click on repair disk permissions.
    (when it's over will show disk repair completed)

    Run the Apple updates also. (the Mac uses probably drivers 10.8)

    Make sure Acrobat is up-to-date.

    If you need more simply make assistance let me know.

  • Cannot open PDF files in Windows Live Mail.

    I recently got a new computer running Windows 7.  I have Windows Live Mail and have tried to open the 'pdf' files attached to e-mails.  When I try to open them I get an error message.  I downloaded the file in the file management section for Adobe and Adobe.  How to open a PDF file without first having to save it on my computer?

    HURT SO BAD!  I had the same problem - I tried the security options in Internet Explorer and Adobe, also the download of unassociate.exe that was put in place for users of Vista and used on the extension pdf without result.  IF YOU USE IT ON THE PDF AND PDFXML extensions, then open Adobe reader and click Help, repair drive installation it works!

    Obviously, you cannot run your life by saving just to open attachments... Adobe has no answers on their site and find the file unassoc.exe on this Microsoft forum was the closest, I arrived to find an answer. When I tried the process a second time, I saw the PDFXML extension just below the PDF extension and took a shot at it.

    Someone at Microsoft needs this fix to make accessible to all the users of Windows 7. I spent 3 hours on the phone with HP support, he tried the unassoc.exe and it did not work for him. I contact them to let them know about this - they put me on the phone with a Manager and he told me they had literally hundreds of phone calls about this.

    Please right click on the PDF icon > select 'Préférences' > tab general, click "Change" and select "Adobe Acrobat".

    If this does not work, you can try typing "Edit the file associated with a file extension type" in the search box or visit Panel > all items in the control panel > default Associations of Programs\Set. Select ".pdf" in the list and click 'Change Program' at the top right and select "Adobe Acrobat".
