In a PDF file created from FrameMaker 2017 by printing a book to a file with Adobe Printer (using the standard job options) and then distilling a .ps file, certain Kanji characters in Meiryo font are not searchable. However, the same characters in MS Gothic font are searchable.

In the attached PDF file, for example, there are 5 occurrences of character string 入力. 2 of them are Meiryo font (highlighted in yellow) and 3 of them are MS Gothic font (highlighted in pink).

You cannot find 入力 in yellow (Meiryo) but you can find them in MS Gothic (pink).

However, if you copy and paste yellow 入力 within the PDF file, you can find the yellow 入力 but not the pink 入力.

入力 is just one example of those unsearchable characters and there are a lot more examples if I create a PDF from FrameMaker 2017 by Save as PDF.

I posted this issue in the Japanese Community Forum about 3 weeks ago, but no one has responded yet. I believe this is a bug and would like it to be fixed.

If you need more information, please let me know.
Thank you.
