In Preview (v 5.3 on 10.6.8), if I search for a single letter such as k
in a pdf, the program will find and highlight every instance of that letter in the pdf.
However, if I search for a punctuation mark such as ?
or ;
, it will report Found on 0 pages
, even when the document is littered with such punctuation.
How can I get preview to search for punctuation?
The reason for this is that I wish to locate all instances of missing references (denoted as [?]
) in a pdf output from LaTeX
.
(Yes, I know that LaTeX
will tell me where they are in the source file, but I wish to find them in the pdf.)
[?]
instead?[?] d
it will find all locations ofd
and completely ignore the punctuation. I think punctuation is being stripped before the search. Probably nothing I can do about it.
