Hi,
Quite often I print Chrome pages and I noticed that my documents can't be searched
for text!
I have enclosed a such pdf into which I'm able to change text colors using proper tool
but that can't be searched for text even if that text is visible on page.
Is there a way to fix this (assuming you can't recreate it using save or print!)
Regards
Bernard

Hello,
The printed text from the Chrome browser is not actually a text.
Please read this article in order to understand why is this happening:

Re: Unknown Text encoding preventing doing search in docs
BTW: thanks to your answer I did do some testing and finally discover that choising "Save as PDF"
in the print dialog instead of a PDF printer will produce expected results (Text is selectable).
The reason for choosing a pdf printer was that such usually automaticaly open resulting pdf
file... which is not the case with "Save as PDF" choice!
