OMGoodness, RB, that PDF question was eaten by the wiki gnome, I swear LOL.

I used to have XI, but somehow I was trundled down the path to upgrade to Rd32, but I think I had the same 'Find' problem (tried using all three methods, drop down menu, right/click menu and CTL/F, all act the same way, nohting found. I still think that it works on PDF created through a true PDF creator and not when they are created using a print simulator like DoPDF (or CutePDF Writer) and the whole page is an image sitting in the middle of a PDF file.

I just researched XI to see if it is obviously the problem because right now my free reader will not convert to any files to PDF format or make a PDF searchable even. I was a fool to fall for this bait and swtich version of the free reader. I will need ot pay for these functions by upgrading to the cheaper one Adobe PDF Pack (subscription fee 5.84 p/mo runs those features from the web or the full installation to your hard drive called Adobe Acrobat Pro DC (for a mere 14.99 p/mo). I refuse to pay for that for the rest of my life.

Not sure if I can punt backwards now, at least on this computer andd I hate to reinstall software that I'm not sure will work again at all and I need to be able to at least see the PDFs I have to read. Thank you though for the info.

BTW, I decided to answer you here because I just don't want to witness what might happen next. Don't you understand that they have already decided, so the matter is supposed to be closed just because they said so. I've never seen anything like it even when it was someone who really was my boss. Never!. :--)) - El
