Search/ find Text function not working in Adobe Reader

I am having problem with text search in Adobe reader latest version 9.3.
One pdf file generated through a pdf printer inside a word processing program and has around 100 pages. So there is no issue of having a scanned document which is not searchable.
In this document, when I try to search the text inside the pdf file using Adobe Reader 9.0, it is working alright and it is recognising the text searched for.
However, When the same pdf file is searched using Adobe Reader 9.3 and 9.4 etc it is not searching the text which is present at more than five places in the document.
Please advise.

Scanned PDFs that have not had OCR performed will just contain an image of text, so they cannot be searched. Other files may have messed up fonts. Without looking at eachc particular document, it's hard to say what's wrong.

    Adobe reader  X and XI search don´t find text like other programs including adobe reader 9? Thanks

    You mean, you are trying to search text in a PDF file, and you can do it in Reader 9 but not in later versions of Reader (using the same file)?

  • Save As function not working in Adobe 11

    When I do a Save As on a PDF file Adobe Reader seems to save the file normally. However once I browse to that location there is no PDF file. I'm working with PDF files that are on the local hard drive. I'm using Adobe 11 on Windows 7 64bit. I'm not seeing any error messages.

    Hi,
    Yes, typing a new name works. But, not selecting first an old name and then
    retyping to a new name. That will not work.

  • Javascript not working in Adobe Reader

    Hi,
    I have given the following javascript code in the "Will Save" Document Action. But this code does not execute in Adobe Reader, it works fine in Acrobat Standard/Pro. Why this code does not execute in Reader?
    app.alert("Hi");
    if(app.viewerVersion<8){
    app.alert("Exit");
    this.closeDoc(true);
    Cheers,
    Vinay

    Yes the javascript is enabled.
    The alert comes up in Acrobat Pro when I use the 'Save' or 'Save a Copy option'.  When I use the 'Save a Copy' option in Adobe reader, the alert does not come up.
    Cheers,

  • "Find" Not Working in Adobe Reader X

    I Installed ARX on a Win7/64 machine a few months ago...it seems to work fine.  But today I tried to use the "find" function; everything seemed normal, I asked it to find the word "smith", but it wasn't there (but it really was).  I then tried the word "the", not there either.  Neither was "and".  What's going on?  [FWIW, I use Norton if that's a problem for "find".]  Thnx
    I just realized that it does work on some documents.  Would working or not working depend on how the PDF was generated?  For ex, some of my PDFs came from a scanner, some were web-PDF conversions, some were exports (like from Family Tree Maker), some were originally PDFs, ....

    Scanned PDFs that have not had OCR performed will just contain an image of text, so they cannot be searched. Other files may have messed up fonts. Without looking at eachc particular document, it's hard to say what's wrong.

  • Siri and Voice to Text function not working

    I have done every suggestion that has been listed on every website and from the Siri troubleshooting document.  Nothing has worked so far.  When I look at what has access to my microphone it doesn't list Siri and I cannot find where I can give it access.  Siri and the Voice to Text function worked fine before the iOS7 update.  I've made sure that Siri function is turned on, I've made sure there weren't any restrictions, I've turned the phone completely off, then I did the reset (on/off button and home button), I even went as far as doing a restore to the factory setting and then did the backup and it still does not work.  SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!!!!  As much as we pay for these phones we shouldn't be having this many problems after doing the updates that Apple makes to FIX functionality.  Updates are supposed to enhance our phones, not mess them up.
    Thanks!

    I fixed mine! Go in and reset settings in general settings at bottom. It's the top reset. After complete go turn on Siri, location, and find my iPhone. Let me know if it works for you

  • AcroPDF ActiveX print functions are not working with Adobe Reader 9.2 / Actobat Reader 9.3

    AcroPDF ActiveX print functions are not working with Reader 9.2/9.3. Tried ActiveX print functions like printPages(), printAll(), printWithDialog(), none of them is working. Tried on platforms: XP 32 bit and Win7 32 bit. These print functions all work fine with Adobe Reader 9.1.0. or 8.2.0 or 8.1.0 on XP 32 bit or Win7 32 bit.
    The way I have my setup: I have created a C/C++ project with AcroPDF MFC ActiveX classes. I have created an AcroPDF object in there, and then calling it's LoadFile() function passing a pdf file in the parameter. Then calling the printPages() or printAll() function. With Adobe Reader 9.1.0. or 8.2.0 or 8.1.0, printing is starting through the default printer without any problem. As soon as I update the reader version to 9.2 or more, the same code stops working.
    Is anybody noticing any similar issue? Any info on this will be highly appreciated. Thank you!

    Unfortunately printWithDialog() is also not working. Actually none of the print functions like Print(), printWithDialog(), printPages(), printPagesFit(), printAll(), printAllFit() are working. All of them works fine though with older reader.
    BTW, what security related changes are there for printPages() and printAll()? Can you please elaborate on that? Is there any workaround?

  • Using of Oracle Text functions not working in JDev

    Hi,
    I'm confused about using Oracle Text functions in JDeveloper.
    It's not possible for me to pass the sql syntax test while creating a view object with a custom query:
    SELECT score (1) myScore,
    dokumente.titel,
    ctx_doc.snippet ('idx_dokumente_titel',
    TO_CHAR (dokumente.dkt_id),
    'searchstring'
    ) snippet
    FROM dokumente
    WHERE contains (titel, 'searchstring', 1) > 0;
    I retrieve "ORA-00911:     invalid character" for the contains-function.
    (Using this statement in sql-worksheet works.)
    Any ideas?

  • Tool Button Not Working in Adobe Reader 9

    Hello,
    I have a custom tool button - folder level script (with a trusted function) to digitally sign a drawing template.
    The tool button works in Reader 8 and Reader X, but is not working in Reader 9.
    The error message is shown "Not Allowed Error: Security settings prevent access to this property or method".
    Can any one please advise why this would not work in Reader 9 when the tool buttons work in other versions of Adobe Reader?
    Thank you.

    Adobe changes JS with every major release, check the Acrobat JS API Reference to see what has changed with regard to your code.
    Without seeing your code, there is no way tell what is going on. Also check the preferences to see if there is an option that needs to be checked to allow your script to work.
    Since Reader X works and it is free, why not upgrade?

  • ID CS6 Form Submit not working in Adobe Reader

    Hardware = Mac 8Core OSX 10.7.5 | Software = InDesign CS6 vs 8.01
    I'm having ongoing frustrations with the ID Cs6 Forms. The interactive form Submit button works on my machine's Adobe Acrobat Pro, but not on machines using Adobe Reader (I've given up on it working in Apple Preview). It has worked on one other mac machine, again it was Adobe Acrobat pro 9.1.1. Any advice will be appreciated. Thanks in advance: Justin

    You need to enable that in Acrobat Pro.
