Hi ismanpa,

Please zip and re attach the file to the post as if files are not zipped they get stripped from the posts.

Thanks,

Chris Attrell

My guess is that the file contains no text, but is just scanned images.

Hello ismanpa,

For files containing only images like the one you have - I am afraid that we can't do much at this time.
You will need to "OCR" the document first before you can perform text search on it.

We are working on our own OCR plug-in but it's not yet ready - and we expect it to be released at some point after ver3 of our Viewer comes live.

Best,
Stefan
