Hello Adalbert. First of, let me apologize for this late reply to your email but real life sometimes doesn't allow us to keep a speedy pace in our internet life.
Regarding the issue you mention in your email there must be something wrong with your download, because the downloaded pdf documentation is searchable, both in a Xubuntu environment using Atril for the effect as in a Windows enviroment, using Acrobat Reader in this case. You say that that your made searchable pdf is 22 MB, 1/3 of its original size, whitch is odd since the original pdf documentation (downloaded from https://docs.xubuntu.org/1604/user/C/xubuntu-documentation-A4.pdf) is only 443 Kb.
