With increasing numbers of dead links I often save interesting (merely scientific) webpages as PDF, and it comes in handy when you can find them with search-options like Explorer's. Recently I discovered that hundreds of my PDF's made by DoPDF turned out to be not searchable, where DoPDF used to create searchable PDF's. The original websites wére searchable. First I blamed DoPDF, but when I, a Chrome user, created a PDF from Firefox it turned out that one wás searchable. So it is Chrome. I tried te register at Google's but they started doing spooky things, asking passwords for my Hotmail-account, where it was not clear who asked fot the password, then started fooling around in my Hotmail-inbox, so I canceled. So my question is, how to create searchable PDF's from Chrome? And how to convert all these not-searchable ones?
searchable from Firefox, not from Chrome
