Hello Harold,
Are you suggesting that PDF is not searchable? All the PDFs I've ever
seen are readily searchable using free readers such as Adobe Acrobat.
Only if what's in the PDF is text. I have quite a number of PDFs which
are scans of book pages that haven't been OCR'd/whatever to be
searchable. Mind you, at the price I paid (nothing)[1], I'm not
complaining. :-)
Of course. if it's not text it can't be scanned unless the scanner is
willing to OCR it.
Of course, anything created in OOo is likely to contain searchable text.
Likely but not necessarily; no more than a PDF. I can just as easily
scan to an OOo image as I can to a PDF image.
[1] They were legitimately acquired, BTW. Just in case you were
wondering.
