Did this tiurn all the non Latin text into bitmap? Using the text selet tool on my NT system I cannot select any non Latin text. Also a not very sceintific search for Han characters failed.
This question is pertinent to one asked me the other day for which I did not have an answer. Is the code set of an original document relevant for PDF - say EUC, SJIS, PDF - will the output perform text searches correctly for differing code set inputs?
