I think this sounds like a problem we encountered here. The solution was to embed the entire font into the pdf document. As I remember it, fop will normally only embed the glyphs that are actually used but a bug in many (all?) versions of pdf reader means that it then messes up copying and searching.

Our solution (for fop 0.25 - I don't know about 0.9x ) was:
In your userconfig file in the fonts section add an embed-file entry for each font that you use. I attach a small section of our userconfig as example.

<font metrics-file="fonts/metrics/DxRg____.xml" kerning="yes" embed-file="fonts/daxfontsnew/DxRg____.ttf">
   <font-triplet name="Dax" style="normal" weight="normal"/>
   <font-triplet name="Dax Regular" style="normal" weight="normal"/>
 </font>


Hope this helps.

If you are using cusom fonts this is a known issue. You have to update to
fop 0.93 which is solving this problem. There are many mailings in mailing
archive about this issue.

Hello there,

i have a little problem with PDFs created with FOP. It seems to
be that you can't search inside the PDF (using CTRL+F) and when
you copy something out of the PDF the pasted Text will look
corrupt. Are there any known issues about that and a way to solve it?
