Description Lakshmi 2004-06-22 08:53:57 UTC 
Hi,

When I concatenate two PDF files, I am not able to do a find or search command
on the resulting concatenated PDF file. The file opens correctly in the
Acrobat Reader. But when I search for a string/text, I get zero occurances.

Any help is highly appreciated.

The command I used for concatenating was
gswin32 -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOutputFile=MY_TEST.PDF FILE1.PDF 
FILE2.PDF

While the search option works on files 1 and 2, it fails on the above
concatenated file
