Hello All.

Maybe this is more a LaTeX-related question, but on the other hand I
think the answer would be useful to many LyX users as well.

I've recently came across CMAP which I though was a perfect solution
to make searchable and copyable PDFs (with \usepackage{cmap})

ftp://tug.ctan.org/pub/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/cmap.zip

However, although it _appears_ to work fine, the resulting PDF file is
1) still not searchable and 2) crashes Acrobat 7 (Linux) whenever I
try to copy smth to clipboard.

If I don't use CMAP in preamble, the resulting file is again, not
searchable, and Acrobat copies some garbage to clipboard (this one was
tested on Windows, too).

The questions:

1) does anyone have a successful experience with CMAP and LyX/LaTeX?
2) is there any other way/package to solve the problem?

Many thanks in advance.

PS: I'm using Cyrillic chars (T2A), with the results above. T2A is
stated as supported by CMAP. For purely English chars, Acrobat can
search just fine.
