Wine Application Create not searchable PDF

Post by Rob__oo00t »

All

I have find an issue printing on CUPS queue, from a WINE application (notepad or others are the same)
The results of printing, is a PDF file that is not "searchable", I mean, you cannot use find function of PDF reader for looking for words. (easy to recreate a problem with notepad)
While, if you print from Ubuntu application, Gedit for example, the PDF generated if fully indexed.

I have see this problem with different ubuntu installation, and different ubuntu or wine version, (I use Natty 11.04 64bits).

any idea for a solution?

Long-known bug: http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6416

Use a native app to create PDFs.

:cry:
unfortunatly I can't use native application, because I use Chordpro a guitar program and I try with native linux alternative, without furtune.
Anyway, I will take a bug log under control if you discover some news.
