I am having a problem with Reader that *may* be related. For some pdf doc's I downloaded from HP, if I copy some characters from the text and then paste them into the Find box, the characters show up as hieroglyphs in the Find box. And then actually attempting to do a Find using those characters doesn't work, because it can't find the very word that I copied them from! On top of that, if I manually type a word into the Find box, it won't find it even though I can see it within the text on the page showing on the screen. Very strange!
