Without seeing the actual data in the PDF, its hard to say.

My issue came from overlaying spaces over the text. So, lets say I had two lines with zero spacing that was:

Text1
         Text2

It would make you have to search for Text1 wth spaces in it. Which I feel is, well, a slight bug. Why?

1. All 3rd party PDF viewers work fine
2. If you're searching wouldn't it search text "objects" (lines)??
3. Why if you overlay underlines doesn't it make you search for T_e_x_t_1?

Who knows. I just suggest to users now with this problem to use a 3rd party viewer or not include bolds in their documents that are converted to PDF.
