PS to PDF

[stroll]

We are trying to convert a ps file created in pagemaker plus 6.5 to a pdf using distiller 4.0. After the conversion, we cannot search the text on the pdf. When we enter a word to find, it states that it cannot find it. Is there any settings that need to be set to allow us to search the text on the pdf document.

Thanks
Ryan

Assumed, the text is visible (not lost), then Search "word" by A.Reader
works without any problem. Of course, a PDF cannot be edited.
In the source PDF, the text is compressed, thus it cannot be found by a
text editor.

All you have to do is run the postscript file through Acrobat distiller--you can also open a ps file in Illustrator---

Aishu: First try in PM Export to PDF - works fully automatically.
If you miss features (I don´t ) you can try the two step
procedure: Export to PS. Distill PS . --G.Hoffmann
