The Find function (Ctrl+F), mis-finds the desired simple text in Acrobat Standard, but works fine in Reader

Adobe Acrobat X 10.1.13, Win 7 64bit, 
The Find function (Ctrl+F), mis-finds the desired simple text. 
This is not a scanned document.  When I search for some word that DOES exist in the document, Acrobat will highlight text that does not match at all and which does NOT contain the word.  If I select the actual word, copy and past the text, I get the selected text accurately, but when I paste the same selected text into the Find box to search for it, Acrobat still mis-finds. 
HOWEVER, I can open the very same .PDF file in Acrobat Reader X and do not have the same problem - Find works correctly in Reader with the same .PDF. 
What is going on?!  Both Acrobat standard, and Reader report that they are up to date.   Please help.

Can you try rasterizing (converting the document to tiff/bmp) and then importing those image files (tiff/bmp) back in Acrobat.
This would allow document to be re-OCRed and you will be able to search text in it. You can use lossless export/import settings to preserve the quality of ducment.
For exporting the file:
1: Go to File > Save As Other > Image > Tiff.
2: Click on Settings button in the Save As Dialog and set the file settings as ZIP for Monochrome, Grayscale and Color.
Now for importing the files back:
1: Press Ctrl + K
2: In the Preferences dialog, select Convert To PDF option in Categories.
3: Choose tiff or bmp (as per the format used while exporting) and un-check Scan Optimization and OCR.
4: Set Color and Grayscale to Zip and Monochrome to CCITT G4.
5: Save the settings.
6: Now import all the pages in Acrobat.
7: You can use Combine Files feature to merge all the image files.

  • The "Search" function box doesn't find things that are there! Why?!

    The "Search" function box doesn't find things that are there! Why? Eg: It doesnt show all my Sent and Received emails, but it will find an email that I half wrote and deleted. Unsure why or how to explain more fully.
    I also don't understand if I type in "James email" or "J" into the search box and all the J / James stuff appears but it doesn't show the emails I know have been sent and I know are somewhere because I rang "James" up to check, but the search box shows random thing I am NOT looking for, even if I type in fully what I am looking for and test it by typing in full titles of things.
    It also doesn't store all my sent emails in "Sent" box. Confused! I'm not sure if the "Search" box just isn't up to the job or if it is broken / i'm doing something wrong? Maybe the email address I use isn't set up properly?

    This can happen sometimes if the cache is not cleared correctly when items are not deleted from your device.
    The only solution to this is to do a restore to clean out the cache file.

  • The InitCVIRTE function is not listed in the NIDAQ function reference online help? Why? and where can I find a description of this function?

    the InitCVIRTE function is not listed in the NIDAQ function reference online help? Why? and what does she do?and where can I find a description of this function? Can i use this function with visualc++ 6.0?

    The InitCVIRTE function is in the CVI run time engine (cvirte.dll)..not part of NI-DAQ.
    Applications written or using CVI may call this function..
    How are you running into this ?
    From the CVI help...
    This function performs initialization of the CVI Run-Time Engine. It is needed only in executables or DLLs that are linked using an external compiler. Otherwise, it is harmless.
    It should be called in your main, WinMain, or DllMain, function. The parameter values you should pass depend on which of these three functions you are calling InitCVIRTE from. The following examples show how to use InitCVIRTE in each case.
    If you are using main, your code should be as follows.
    int main (int argc, char *argv[])
    if (InitCVIRTE (0, argv, 0) == 0)
    return -1; /* out of memory */
    /* your other code */
    return 0;
    If you are using WinMain, your code should be as follows.
    int __stdcall WinMain (HINSTANCE hInstance,
    HINSTANCE hPrevInstance,
    LPSTR lpszCmdLine,
    int nCmdShow)
    if (InitCVIRTE (hInstance, 0, 0) == 0)
    return -1; /* out of memory */
    /* your other code */
    return 0;
    If you are creating a DLL, you must call InitCVIRTE and CloseCVIRTE in your DllMain function, as in the following.
    int __stdcall DllMain (void *hinstDLL, int fdwReason,
    void *lpvReserved)
    if (fdwReason == DLL_PROCESS_ATTACH)
    if (InitCVIRTE (hinstDLL, 0, 0) == 0)
    return 0; /* out of memory */
    /* your other ATTACH code */
    else if (fdwReason == DLL_PROCESS_DETACH)
    /* your other DETACH code */
    CloseCVIRTE ();
    return 1;
    NOTE: The prototype for InitCVIRTE is in cvirte.h, not
    utility.h.
    NOTE: In CVI 4.0.1, this function was expanded from one to
    three parameters. Executables and DLLs that were
    created using the one-parameter version of the function
    will continue to work properly.
    /*-------------------- Prototype ---------------------*/
    int InitCVIRTE (void *HInstance, char *Argv[], void *Reserved);

  • Why do i constantly get cut off on calls.  I've had this problem with my 3GS, my 4S and now my iPhone 5.  When the core functionality is Phone, i.e. the ability to talk, why can't Apple make the iPhone function as a Phone?  is there an App for that !!

    Well, since you've had the same problem, with three different phones, that all use different size sim cards, it seems pretty obvious the problem is with your carrier/coverage & nothing to do with your phone or sim card.

  • Filter function to one of the  arraycollections the same function gets applied to all the other  arraycollecti

    If I instantiate 3 arraycollections and point them to the
    same object with the = operator, then if I apply a filter function
    to one of the arraycollections the same filter function gets
    applied to all the other arraycollections when I refresh the

  • The video app on my iPad now only shows a black screen. Used to work fine then crashed in the middle of a short video.

    The video app on my iPad now only shows a black screen. Used to work fine then crashed in the middle of a short video.  When I open the app the screen is just blank. As it is a default app I can't delete and reinstall. Anybody else experience this?

    Try searching for the name of one of your videos on the iPad's spotlight search screen - swipe your first homescreen to the right, type in it's name, and if it finds it tap on it to see if it plays.
    If that doesn't work then try closing the Videos app via the taskbar : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Videos app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Videos app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    A third option if the two above don't work is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

    I have a BT Infinity router plugged into the Time Capsule, not sure where the radio settings are?
    They are able to use the network settings of the TC i.e. they can connect to the internet via the wifi through the TC but when they try and connect to the AirPort Disk this is where it is not allowing a connection.
    I don;t have the drive shared out at all at the moment, is this necessary?  How do I do this if so?
    I have attached the screen shots of all the settings.
    Thanks again for your help.

  • TS2972 First night I was able to watch 2 TV shows (45 min each) with no problems, but thereafter programs will not stream without constant pause to buffer. Weather conditions are ideal and my internet comes from crappy hugesnet, but worked fine the first

    First night I was able to watch 2 TV shows (45 min each) with no problems, but thereafter programs will not stream without constant pause to buffer. Weather conditions are ideal and my internet comes from crappy hugesnet, but worked fine the first night.

    The speed may have been ok at that time and is too inconsistent/too slow overall. interference may have proven to be more of an issue since as well. If using public DNS that will provide Intermittant results
    I'm sure using a hotspot would be fine but it depends on your viewing habits. An HD movie is around 4-5GB. It would also be subject to speed. requirements so best to test to see how it compares.
    You would have to check with your Carrier if hotspot it's enabled then just to into your settings and toggle it ON

  • I'm running Windows 7 and iTunes and the other Apple programs wouldn't automatically update. Went through all the options and finally had to delete all Apple files and re-download iTunes. Worked fine, until the next update. Is there a glitch in the system

    I'm running Windows 7 and iTunes (and the other Apple programs) wouldn't automatically update. Went through all the options and finally had to delete all Apple files and re-download iTunes. Worked fine, until the next update. Is there a glitch in the system? Does someone know of some proprietory block (I think it is related to Quicktime)? Also, once I re-downloaded everything, cleaned everything up, and deleted duplicate files, I closed down my computer. When I re-started it, iTunes was "brand new" -- all of my music, organization, tagging, etc. was gone and had to start over. Idea?

    Ok, so after like 4 days of going through all these different issues, I figured out that several programs weren't downloading, and it was an issue with my wireless connectivity messing up the digital signatures, so if you plug in your comp to the modem and delete your temp files, it should start to work!

  • FCP 10.1 DV capturing from camera breaking the scenes into unwanted clips by flashing a black screen on import window. But its fine and accurate with adobe premiere pro cc ? Any solution * Advance Thanks

    FCP 10.1 DV capturing from camera breaking the scenes into unwanted clips by flashing a black screen on import window. But its fine and accurate with adobe premiere pro cc ?
    Any solution * Advance Thanks

    FCP X will import into separate clips every time it detects a scene change (as when you stopped and started recording in the camera). There is no option to avoid this, as far as I known.
    You may try importing from camera using Quicktime Player X and then bringing the imported file into FCP X.

    I guess you could try but I don't believe Apple can help with activation lock issues.  They may, however, be able to determine if the Apple ID belongs to one of you and reset the password for you if you can prove your identity.
    You might want to try calling Apple by going to https://expresslane.apple.com; click 'More Products and Services, then 'Apple ID'.  In the next page select 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Lost or forgotten Apple ID password'.  Perhaps they can help determine if it's your ID and reset the password for you (and they probably have more expertise in doing this than the Apple store).
