We recently upgraded our system from Acrobat 7 to Acrobat X Pro. We used to use smallest file size to distill our pages to upload them to the web and have them searchable. With Acrobat X when we use smallest file size it changes the text to an image and is no longer searchable on our website. Is there a different Distiller setting to use that will maintain the searchability of the pdf.

We build advertising in Quark 9.0. From there we create a postscript file, then run the ps file through distiller to create the pdf.

One final note, are you using Transparency in Quark 9? If so, printing to PostScript will turn the transparent areas that touch text into Pixels. This is not an Acrobat issue, but a Quark 9 & Transparency issue. InDesign will allow you to keep the transparent text Vector (not raster) if you use File > Export and don't make PostScript. I don't know if Quark offers this option (you can check with them).

I have uploaded 2 files. The first file 04-4c.pdf has text that the program seems to see but the display ads don't seem to search.
The second file 32-4c doesn't seem to be able to search anything.

A few questions, where are these PDFs being created, for example are you using PDFMaker from MS Office or Printing to the Adobe PDF Printer?
What is the originating application?
