Cant search pdf's in win 2k

[Guest]

Hello. I have a windows 2000 professional machine. When I use keywords to
search through certain pdf filesthe search does not pick up the keywords even
though the words are in the pdf file. However, if I search a text file or a
MS Word file Windows 2000 finds the keywords with no problem. Also, if I
search using the serach feature within adobe reader the software finds the
words with no problem. Is there a reason why Windows 2000 would not find
keywords in certain pdf files and it would find it in others? Thanks in
advance for any help you can offer.

it's the encoding within the application, you'll have to use its search
facility
