PDF ebook- text is searchable in Adobe reader but not ADE?!

I have a PDF ebook which has fully embedded fonts and internal hyperlinks, bookmarks and when viewed via Adobe reader is fully searchable. However when the same PDF is viewed in Adobe Digital Editions all navigational features remain but the text is not searchable?! This doesnt make sense- any help or advice would be grateful appreciated.

Hi,
What i understood from "searchable" is "searching text in a PDF document" , am I right?
which version of Adobe Reader are you using ?
Please also share the PDF file in which you are facing the problem in searching with Adobe Reader.
Thanks.

PDF file is distorted when opened in Adobe Reader, but not in Photoshop.

I used Photoshop to create a PSD file with multiple layers, then saved as PDF. When then using Adobe Reader to open the PDF, the layers look different. What is causing this and how do you fix?

Never heard of such an issue. Can you share such a PDF with the forum? See http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1408375

I have the up to date adobe reader but not working on Yosemite

I have removed and reinstalled adobe but pictures are missing when printing pdf's with adobe. I cannot find a way round it.
Any advice?
Thanks

Hi chrissieh23647101,
Please confirm that you are using the latest version of Adobe Reader i.e. 11.0.10
Could you please try this:
Open the PDF in Adobe Reader and choose Advanced settings under 'File > Print'
A new window will open in which you need to select Print as Image option and click OK.
Now, print your file and check again.
Let me know if this helps.

How can I change from using Adobe in fire fox to using only adobe app. I have checked in tools to use adobe reader but adobe in fire fox keeps coming up.

I know I was able to do this before. Under tools - options - applications - PDF files are listed to use Adobe reader but everytime I open a PDF it comes up using adobe in Firefox. I do not that. Want to be able to open the PDF right there.

My instruction should be:
Tools / Add-ons / Plug-in
and you should see Foxit Reader Plugin there. Click on the line and you'll see a "disable" option there.

When I save a Word 2010 doc as a pdf file, it opens up in Adobe Reader as a blank page, no text, no background etc.

When I save a Word 2010 doc as a pdf file, it opens up in Adobe Reader as a blank page, no text, no background etc. I am logged on as the Administrator, running Windows 7, using Microsoft Home and Business 2010.

You were right, it was a Microsoft problem.
I got it...I am now able to save a Word 2010 document as a pdf file. Here is what I did/found:
In Word, go to File, Options, Display and make sure that "Print drawing created in word" is CHECKED.
Mine was unchecked and when I checked it everything came back and is working as it did before. The only thing I can think of is that a Microsoft Update may have changed this selection...I know I DID NOT make any changes in the options.
One other thing I noticed in my saved documents folders was that a lot of my files showed up as PDF's and would still not open until I selected one and told it to default to open as a word document and then they all changed back and I was able to open them in word again.
I hope this helps others out there.

Since I have Yosemite on my iMac I can't view PDF files in Safari anymore. It keeps telling me to upgrade my Adobe Reader, but it is the latest version. Please help? I don't have this problem on my Macbook that does not have Yosemite installed.

Since I have Yosemite on my iMac I can't view PDF files in Safari anymore. It keeps telling me to upgrade my Adobe Reader, but it is the latest version. Please help? I don't have this problem on my Macbook that does not have Yosemite installed.

Back up all data before making any changes. Please take each of the following steps until the problem is resolved.
Step 1
If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, and the problem is just that you can't print or save PDF's displayed in Safari, you may be able to do so by moving the cursor to the the bottom edge of the page, somewhere near the middle. A black toolbar should appear under the cursor. Click the printer or disk icon.
Step 2
There should be a setting in its preferences of the Adobe application such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected.
Step 3
If you get a message such as ""Adobe Reader blocked for this website," then from the Safari menu bar, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
and check the box marked
          Allow Plug-ins
Then click
          Manage Website Settings...
and make any required changes to the security settings for the Adobe PDF plugin.
Step 4
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens by pressing command-V, then press return.
From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari.
Step 5
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others—I don't have a complete list. Don't remove Silverlight if you use the "Netflix" video-streaming service.
Step 6
Do as in Step 4 with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari.

Adobe Reader could not open a pdf file - either not supported file type or file damaged

On March 5th, I started getting the Adobe Reader error message "Adobe Reader could not open a pdf file because it is either not supported file type or the file has been damaged.
I get this when I try to open the pdf file as an attachment in Outlook 2013 from my G-Mail account. If I save the attachment and then try to open the pdf document, I get the same error4.
I get this error message with every pdf file that now comes to me in Outlook.
If I log on to my G-Mail I am able to open the pdf document. If I also save the attachment to my computer, I do not get the error message when I open the pdf file. This would suggest the file is okay
This would lead me to believe the problem maybe with Outlook.

How do i read pdf files on mac air, i have downloaded adobe reader and not working

How do I read any files in pdf format? I have downloaded adobe reader yet have not been able to open pdf files?

If you can't view PDF files in Safari, take these steps.
Back up all data.
Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder

From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.

If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins

Why dont i ever see downloaded pdfs in the "documents section" in adobe reader on my ipad?

Why dont i ever see downloaded pdfs in the "documents section" in adobe reader on my ipad? They only stay in the Acrobat.com section and when I try to move them the "documents" partion is not listed as an option. Only the folders i have within acrobat.com are listed

The pdfs have been uploaded to Acrobat .com (from my computer) I open the Adobe reader on my ipad and see them in the acrobat partition of the reader. I tap on them and they open. To test whether they were truly downloaded ,I turn off wifi and they still open. I consider this "downloaded" BUT... they stay in the acrobat.com partition of the reader. Nothing ever goes or lives in the "Documents" partition..nor can I move anything there.....Why not? What is the"documents" partition there for if nothing lives or can be moved there?
