Description of problem: From bug 965738: "There is some bug in the PDF generated text that it doesn't find the word (Ctrl+F in adobe reader) "ExtendedFormAuthenticator" but it finds "ExtendedForm Authenticator". However looking into the text I cannot see a space between them. The word is contained in page 127 in a source code section. https://access.redhat.com/site/documentation/en-US/JBoss_Enterprise_Application_Platform/6.1/pdf/Security_Guide/JBoss_Enterprise_Application_Platform-6.1-Security_Guide-en-US.pdf" Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Issue confirmed using Acroread 9.5.5 on Fedora 18. Publican version installed locally is 4.0.0, however this was not used in the creation of the book (build performed remotely via Pressgang). How reproducible: 100% (When using Acroread. Bug does not present in any other PDF viewer) Steps to Reproduce: 1. Download latest version of document: http://documentation-devel.engineering.redhat.com/site/documentation/en-US/JBoss_Enterprise_Application_Platform/6.3/pdf/Security_Guide/JBoss_Enterprise_Application_Platform-6.3-Security_Guide-en-US.pdf 2. Open the above PDF in Acroread (v 9.x) 3. Search for "ExtendedFormAuthenticator" Actual results: No instances of "ExtendedFormAuthenticator" found. Expected results: Two instances of the term should be found. Additional info: The bug was originally raised against the Red Hat JBoss EAP Security Guide, however the ECS documentation team is unable to correct this.
Testing with acroreader 9.1.0 on Fedora 19 verifies the non-searchability of text. PDFs generated with a newer release of wkhtmltopdf, 0.12.0, appear to be searchable in acroreader 9.1.0. Changes subject to indicate this issue is specific to Adobe products.
Upgrading to wkhtmltopdf 0.12 resolves this issue. To ssh://git.fedorahosted.org/git/publican.git 50fff7b..64a5160 devel -> devel
A fix for this shipped in Publican 4.1.0.
