[Ham-Computers] Adobe Reader 9.2

[WØQFC]

Ron & all:

The file I was using was scanned as a graphic image and that is why I was 
unable to use the "find" feature.

I searched the Adboe site and came up empty for a solution; I also tried all 
the suggestions from the group.

Since there was only 14  pages involved, I scanned those pages using the HP 
scanning software and saved the pages as PDF files. Now, the search function 
works!

I wanted to use the search function to help trouble shoot the wiring on a 
Globe Scout 680 ~ if I wanted to know how/what was connected to terminal 
strip TS-1, I could search on "TS-1" and it will return all instances of 
TS-1, thereby allowing me to check the connections to TS-1

WHEW!!

Just thought this info might be useful to others with the same problem. . . 
.

Thanks to all that offered help and Happy New Year to all.

|
|   PDF viewers have built in search engines that can search pdf files made 
from graphic images.
| (scans)  The <Ctrl> + F only works when a pdf file originated as a text 
(or word) document.
| Look for the binoculars icon.
