Adobe, I used a minolta scanner (Bizhub 360) to scan a magazine to PDF, but when I opened the document up in Adobe Reader 9 and tried to search the text for key words, it would not let me search the document. I then scanned a regular memorandum document and it allowed me to search the document. Can someone please tell me why I cannot search the document for key words on the magazine? Cheers

Because there are no words. Just pictures of words. You can't search a picture.

Graffiti, I was able to somewhat search other pages that fit the memorandum style document. The search was just a little off. For example when I searched for the letter "C" every word that had a "C" in it was highlighted but it also highlighted another part of the word, like if the word was cash it highlighted "ca". Btw- does adobe have any tool/indexer to search for pictures of words? Cheers
