hdante: the problem is that, despite appearances, the PDF in the bug description does not contain the word 'Über'. It contains the word 'Uber', without a diaresis. You can see this if you copy and paste from the document using any PDF reader, including adobe reader, google chrome, foxit, etc. There is a diaresis, but it is not really attached to the 'U'.
Even so, adobe reader and chrome can still find something if you search the document for 'über'. What they seem to be doing is ignoring any diacratic marks, so if you search for 'über' (or even 'ubér') it will find 'Uber'. I was proposing similar behavior for poppler. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to poppler in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/116453 Title: evince can not find ü in attached PDF Status in Poppler: Confirmed Status in poppler package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Binary package hint: evince 1) lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu Vivid Vervet (development branch) Release: 15.04 2) apt-cache policy evince evince: Installed: 3.14.1-0ubuntu1 Candidate: 3.14.1-0ubuntu1 Version table: *** 3.14.1-0ubuntu1 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ vivid/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 3) What is expected to happen with the attached document is when one searches for: über it is found: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/poppler/+bug/116453/+attachment/102979/+files/example.pdf 4) What happens instead is it does not return any matches.
