Acrobat fails to highlight found search terms
I took a few minutes yesterday to report this to Adobe as a bug, and actually received a same-day reply from someone named Ed Hutton. What he said was this: Thank you for taking the time to notify us of this unexpected behavior after updating to Acrobat 9.4.5. This has been identified as a bug by our Engineering team. They are hard at work creating a fix to be included in the next update. There is no time frame for this patch to be released. A workaround has been reported by some users. Here are the steps: 1) Do a CRTL + F to bring up the Find window. 2) Click on the dropdown and choose Open Full Acrobat Search. 3) Click on the Search button in the Search panel on the left. 4) For the first search result on each page, you will have to click the search result twice to see the highlighted word. You can then click each additional search result once to see the following highlighted word on the same page. The same procedure applies in reverse as you work up (instead of down) the list of search results. 5) It will bring up a list of all the instances of the word on that page. Other users have installed Reader and used the search capability of the Reader X (10) which seems to be unhindered. We apologize for the inconvenience and hope to have this issue resolved in the future. It's basically the same workaround many of us had already figured out, but at least they have somebody reading and responding to problem reports. -Fred Ridder From: rshuttlewo...@avbasesystems.com Subject: RE: Acrobat fails to highlight found search terms To: framers at lists.frameusers.com Date: Thu, 11 Aug 2011 13:05:39 -0400 There is one partial "solution" - zoom to 800% and try the find again. 8^) I'm also cynical.

RE: Acrobat fails to highlight found search terms
Actually, I'm running Acrobat 9 on Windows 7 Ultimate and I get exactly the same behaviour as Stuart. So it's broken in Windows 7 as well - and it's *very* annoying given that it defeats the whole purpose of the Find function.

RE: Acrobat fails to highlight found search terms
I have the free Acrobat Reader 9.4.5 on Windows Vista Pro, and I have noticed this problem too. Actually, I didn't even know about the Search feature, never needed it. The search window makes the search term bold in each occurrence, but when clicking on it to see it on the page, it has the same problem for me. In both cases (Find and Search), whenever Acrobat switches pages, the next term is not highlighted (it does have the cursor after the word). So when using find, it'll be the first occurrence on the page (or last if going backward). When using search, clicking on an occurrance that changes the page doesn't highlight it, but it will be if on the same page. Clicking twice on an occurrance highlights it, even if on a new page.

Acrobat fails to highlight found search terms
I have the free Acrobat Reader 9.4.5 on Windows Vista Pro, and I have noticed this problem too. Actually, I didn't even know about the Search feature, never needed it. The search window makes the search term bold in each occurrence, but when clicking on it to see it on the page, it has the same problem for me. In both cases (Find and Search), whenever Acrobat switches pages, the next term is not highlighted (it does have the cursor after the word). So when using find, it'll be the first occurrence on the page (or last if going backward). When using search, clicking on an occurrance that changes the page doesn't highlight it, but it will be if on the same page. Clicking twice on an occurrance highlights it, even if on a new page.

Oh yes, Vista too. Acrobat 9.4.5 Pro Extended. Finds but doesn't highlight. Why am I not surprised?

Acrobat fails to highlight found search terms
There is one partial "solution" - zoom to 800% and try the find again. 8^) I'm also cynical. They're not interested in fixing bugs, only in selling newer versions.
