Hi. I am using Illustrator CS2 for creating PDF with layers. The users of the PDF-files have to use Find-command to find texts from the large image.
Problems: (1) Find-command does not find all texts (for example if they are curved in illustrator) (2) Find-command finds a specific area with the text inside of it, not only the text. Do anyone have experience of this kind of behaviour? Is this PDF or Illustrator problem.. -Teuvo

Are the curved text items selectable text or images of text in the PDF. Find can only deal wth selectable text not images of text.

Thanks, Text is selectable but it seems to be stretched in Illustrator. And there is space between each character. I think that problem occures when I make the PDF-file from Illustrator.
