PDF file is not searchable

Posted on Author VeryPDF / 493 Views
I downloaded your free version of this program to try it out. It did appear to unlock all the security settings instantly and was able to highlight text but was not able to search for text.
Can you please tell me why. The document is rendered text so should be searchable.

Can you please email to us your sample PDF file for checking?

Thanks for your response. Here is the unlocked PDF file. When I search for words in it I get the error message: This page contains renderable text. Here for convenience is my original question: "Hi, I downloaded your free version of this program to try it out.
