How To: Save to a Document File (Searchable PDF, MS DOC, HTML, etc.)
Files saved to Document file types retain searchable text. For example, when a file is saved as Document file type with PDF format, the resulting PDF file is automatically searchable.
Perform the following steps in order to create a Document (in this case, Searchable PDF) file.
|
1. |
On the Save As dialog, select "Document Formats" from the File type list. |
|
2. |
Select "PDF" from the Save as list. |
|
|
Note: From the Save As dialog, if you select File Type: "Image Formats," then select PDF, you create a non-searchable PDF file. This will cause the content to fixed and un-editable. |
|
3. |
Click the Options button to show the PDF Save As Options dialog. |
|
4. |
In the General Tab, ensure "Automatic" is selected in the Version list. Click the Options button to show the PDF Save As Options dialog. For more information on other PDF formatting options, visit the PDF Save As Options page of the help documentation. |

5. |
Click the OK button to save the options. The dialog will close. |
|
6. |
Click the Save button to save the searchable PDF file. |
