Find Not Working in Preview
I couldn't find a "Preview" area, so I'll try this here. I don't know why, but most times I am using Preview to view a PDF document, such as a software manual, the Find function doesn't work correctly. I type in a single word that has numerous visable recurrences, but Preview can't find them. Sometimes, it partially works. I have a MainStage manual I downloaded that only finds instances of the word in the figures of the document, but not in the main text. I keep looking for some selection or preference that is set up wrong, but I have no idea why it works this way. I've had other search problems working with PDF documents on Windows platforms, so maybe it's all related to PDF, and not to Preview. But without a search function, I'd just as well have a paper copy! Any ideas? THANKS!
