-<h3>Searching PDF files</h3>
-<p/>In principle, you can search a PDF file: the text of the file
-is available to the viewer, and at least some viewers provide a search
-facility. (It&#8217;s not the fastest thing in the world, but it does help
-in some circumstances.)
-<p/>However, there is a problem: the viewer wants to look at Unicode text,
-but no ordinary TeX-based system deals in Unicode text.
-Fortunately for us Anglophones, this is is hardly ever a problem for
-our text, since even Knuth&#8217;s &#8220;OT1&#8221; encoding matches ASCII (and hence
-the lowest 128 characters of Unicode) for most things printable.
-However, using the inflected characters of Continental European
-languages, or anything that doesn&#8217;t use a Latin alphabet, there is
-potential for problems, since TeX&#8217;s view of what a font is doesn&#8217;t
-map PDF&#8217;s and the reader won&#8217;t understand&#8230;
-<p/>&#8230; Unless you use the <i>cmap</i> package with PDFLaTeX,
-that is. The package will instruct PDFTeX to load character
-maps into your PDF for output fonts encoded according to the T1
-(Western European Languages), T2A, T2B, or T2C (Cyrillic Languages),
-or T5 (Vietnamese) encodings. If your document uses such encodings,
-viewers that can search will use the maps to interpret what they find
-in the file.
-<p/>Unfortunately, the package only works with fonts that are directly
-encoded, such as the <i>cm-super</i> distribution. Fonts like Adobe
-Times Roman (which are encoded for (La)TeX use via virtual fonts)
-are not amenable to this treatment.
