I don't know ... If I created a new pdf using PDFBox and wrote some text in
it, then this text is searchable through Adobe reader with no problem at
all. The problem is in writing some text in existing PDFs. Strange !!

Hesham,
I checked your PDF under Windows XP Professional with Acrobat Reader 9.1
and Acrobat Reader 9.3
Here is my Screenshot:

I'm sure about, that there is a restriction set on your computer in any
way. It works for me under OS X and XP Pro and also for Thomas under
several viewers. I have no idea what could be wrong - but PDFbox isn't the
failing component I think.
Cheers,
Erik

Hesham,
you are searcher for "pdfbox" and you have written "PDFbox" in the
document. Is in your search case-sensitivity deactivated?

Hesham,
I tried your file on Mac OS 10.6 with Adobe Reader 6.0 and 9.2 as well
as Skim 1.3.3;
and on Windows XP professional with Adobe Reader 8.0 and Adobe Acrobat
7.0.
In all cases the word "search" on the last page was found.
Cheers

Hesham,
under which OS are you running your Reader - perhaps I can check
this system too?
To me your posts a threaded well - perhaps you must activate a
threaded view in MarkMail to see the thread-line.

I have also tried Adobe reader v9.3 and it is still having the same
problem ... I cannot search for text written using PDFBox !!
Note: I am always replying to the post mail, but I still see in
MarkMail that each post I send is being sent as a new post, even
your post Erik.

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
