Strange !! I am using Adobe reader v9.2 and it's still doing this. I have
downloaded another PDF reader called : SumatraPDF and I tested the same PDF
but the search worked fine.
I will try to update Adobe reader to v9.3 now to test it.
Best regards ,
Hesham

Subject: Re: Unable to search for PDFBox written text
Hesham,
I tried to search for the text ("Some text written using PDFBox ... I
cannot search for any word in this page using Adobe Acrobat") on the last
page, using "Apple Preview 4.2 (469.5)", "Adobe AcrobatProfessional
7.0.7", "Adobe Acrobat Reader 8.1.4" and "Adobe Acrobat Reader 9.1" under
OS X 10.5.8.
For me it worked with any of these viewers. I could search through the
whole document and always found the words correctly. Perhaps you need to
restart your Acrobat?
Cheers,
Erik

Hello ,
I have noticed that whenever I create a new page in an existing PDF and
write some text in it using PDFBox, this text is not searchable through
Adobe Acrobat.
You can check the sample file here :
http://www.4shared.com/file/213721656/48b1bbea/search_in_PDFBox_text_fails_sa.html
Please check the last page in that sample, it's created and written using
PDFBox ... Try to search for any word in it and you'll fail.
Any solution for this ?
Best regards ,
Hesham
