I have a pdf with font “mingliu_hkscs” generated from itext, it’s content is searchable. However, once printed by PDFCreator, the pdf’s content become unsearchable.


On the other hand, if alter the font with “mingliu_hkscs-extb”, the pdf’s content still searchable after printed by PDFCreator.

Do anyone have any idea about this?
Thanks.
