Hi
I'm start to use okular instead of acroread, but noticed the following:

I have now a PDF file that display correctly, but I can not search it. The
search simply returns a blank.

Copy of normal text and paste in an editor gave "❈ ❇♦✉❝s❡✐♥"  (ie. symbol font
characters)
The pdf was created with pdfsam-console (Ver. 2.4.0e)/ iText 2.1.7 by 1T3XT

Acroread can both find and copy text from the file.
Unfortunately the file is somewhat confidential, so I can't attach it here, but
I'm happy
to send it to a developer.


Reproducible: Always
