Title: Find (ctrl-f) can be used even though the pdf-file has no searchable text. Status in Evince: Expired Status in evince package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Binary package hint: evince PDF Files can be void of any searchable text. For example PDF's created using simple-scan. Enabling the Find function for this type of PDF is misleading. I can enter a string and Evince answers 0 found - although the string/word is actually in the text. The user is mislead to believe the word/string doesn't appear in this text. PDF's not containing any searchable text should be recognized by the application(Evince) and a search not offered to the user; Because a search really isn't done. This can really set you of track if you're used to "standard" pdf functionality (searchability) and are oblivious of this other kind of pdf.
