Hello!

I have problems with searching for text in PDF-documents. The search function does not find an existing word or works not correct. I use Acrobat Reader 7.0.8. With Acrobat Reader 5.0 it all works great. I can't believe this. You can find an example document here (sorry, it's in german).

Can anyone say what's wrong with this document or is there a problem with the new Version of Acrobat Reader?

Thx

1. It wasn't created by an Adobe product
2. The PDF wasn't tagged for accessibility. Add tags with Acrobat Standard or Pro and you should get better search results.
3. Search engine changed between version 5 and version 6, which is probably the reason for the discrepancy
