I can not search pdf doc for word or terms in doc, comes back as not found although I know it exists

I have a Mac which prior to upgrading to snow leopard I could search a pdf document for words or terms.  Since the upgrade I can not successfully do this search.  Although I know the term or word exists in the document the search comes up with Not found.  Help!

What you're seeing is ASCII unicode. The OCR of the text in the body of the PDF was either improperly performed or not at all... or the data has been corrupted.
Have you tried opening it with Preview?

    You don't need to create another post. Just keep responding to the first discussion that you started. I'm sorry that the restart and reboot didn't work, but it gets a little confusing when you create a new discussion every time you want to respond.

  • I need to make a pdf document, made in photoshop, 'page turn' and then add it to my website. I know I can do this in indesign but indesign will not open pdf files for some inexplicable reason. Any ideas how I can do it without completely starting again?

    I need to make a pdf document, already made in photoshop, 'page turn' and then add it to my website as an e-brochure. I know I can do this in indesign but indesign will not open pdf files for some inexplicable reason. Any ideas how I can do it without completely starting again?

    Hello waitingone,
    please try this (all terms are translated from my German programs to my best knowledge):
    1. Did the creator of the pdf file enable the import options?
    2. See import options: choose an other visibility option for your layer.
    3. Let you show the import options and click into one with a black background and try these out (often a gray is selected).
    4. See trimming: try the different modes there. Often works: "Media".
    5. Is the pdf file (eg from Word) correctly created?
    6. Is the PDF file protected? >>> no import possible.
    7. If that does not help, store the pdf file in Acrobat, repair possible errors, run the PDF Optimizer before placing in InDesign.
    Good luck!

  • Please create "on-the-fly change search engine" option ALSO for when we mark [word] in a text, then right-click, then choose "Search [engine x] for [word]"?

    In Firefox 34, you have changed the search bar.
    The new style is perfect for those who always starts by typing in, letter for letter, the search term.
    People such as myself, we almost never type in the search term,
    but instead we mark a [word] in a text, right-click this marked [word], then select "Search [engine x] for [word]".
    Speaking for myself, I have now a total of 36 search engine providers, but I usually only use 7 of those.
    I use "Wikipedia (English)" most of the time..
    - but then I will switch to e.g. "AniDB" and use that one for 1 hour..
    - or switch to "Google" and use that one for 30 minutes..
    - or switch to "Wikipedia (Norwegian)" and use that one for 2 hours..
    - or switch to "Wiktionary (English)" and use that one for 15 minutes..
    ..and then I will switch back to "Wikipedia (English)" again.
    The way the search bar was in Firefox 33 and earlier, I could very easily switch the default search engine.
    Just one click to open the drop-down menu, then choose one.
    In Firefox 34, I have to choose "Tools" -> "Options", the "Search" tab..
    - before I can THEN click to open the drop-down menu.
    4 clicks instead of 1, that's like 400% more work..!
    Also, the fact that I have to go into "Options".. make this..
    ..I don't know how to put it, it's a kind of psychological barrier that I have to overcome each time.
    I mean, before Firefox 34, I went to the "Options" window like maybe 4 times each YEAR,
    now, I have to go there 4 times each DAY..!
    I am not saying you should revert to the old style Search bar,
    as I feel that those you are typing search terms are indeed very happy for this new style..
    Instead, I think of 2 possible ways to create happiness also for us that do mark text and choose "Search.."
    1) An "on-the-fly change search engine" option ALSO for when we mark [word] in a text, then right-click, then choose "Search [engine x] for [word]".
    This could work as a cascading menu option, where it says..
    Search for [word] in -> [engine x]
    ..and where [engine x] was the current default engine, and all the other engines was listed underneath,
    just like the drop-down menu when you switch the default engine.
    Additionally, you could have an on / off checkbox in the "Options" "Search" tab, where you had this option:
    "Change default search engine when choosing another from the drop-down menu"
    THIS would actually be PERFECT.. It would be even much BETTER than in Firefox 33 and earlier..! :-)
    2) If there are things with the first option that don't work (something I've missed etc),
    then maybe you could have an on / off checkbox in the "Options" "Search" tab, where you had this option:
    "Use old-style search bar"
    This would be off by default, but when switched on, it would give us the old Firefox 33 style Search bar.

    Strongly recommend Context Search extension which will solve your problem

This has happned over and over. I have updated the OSx and am 10.8.5. It works on my Mac Book Pro and did once work on the Mac Book Air but stopped so I unistalled and tried to reintsall but no joy. How can i gte the right drivers onto the laptop so that the seach finds them and connects the printer that it already sees?

    I am getting the identical error message for an HP Officejet 7200 series printer.
    First there is a message that software is available from Apple.  You click to get it.  Then it tells you that it is not currently available from the software update server.
    I am running OS 10.8.2.  Printer is on my home network (not USB).
    I went to the Apple Software Dowload site and re-downloaded the latest "HewlettPackard Printer Drivers" (v.2.12) and installed them (twice).  No dice.
    Anybody found a way around this problem?
    I solved all print related issues by avoiding HP, worst software I ever saw, this may not work for you though.

  • How can I search PDF's with iTunes mini player search?

    I have been storeing PDF's in iTunes books becuase its so simple to use. The new mini player in iTunes 11 mini player is amazing and provides some very nice looking searchs.
    However I can't search PDF's via the mini player. Does anyone know how to make this work on a windows install of iTunes?
    Thanks

    I've had the same problem as first posted. Tried the suggested solutions and none of them worked. I finally have found somethng that does work.
    In iTunes v.11.0.1.12,  I needed to get to the following screen before DELETE would work:
    In the uppper LEFT corner select Books.
    Then highlight/select the PDF file you wish to delete, and right click to get the menu to pop up.
    Now, select DELETE from the menu.
