evince is what I have been using, but I read the upgrade info and it said that the pdf reader was changed, oh yes, I am too lazy to change my PDFs to text, but thanks for the idea anyway  :) .

can you use xpdf? what about reinstalling evince?

You can convert a pdf into text with pdftotext (or pdftotext: do 'ls /bin/*pdf* and /usr/bin/*pdf* to
find all the pdf-related programs)

when I updated a laptop from win vista to xubuntu 18.04, it no longer used evince to read pdf files.  The new program does not allow me to search a pdf for text.  what now?
