Searchable PDFs with 3B2 versions 5 to 7
A known problem with 3B2 up to version 7.51 is generation of PDF data files that allow searching for umlauts and other accented characters. To achieve this, the following steps have to be noted:
  1. Fonts have to be converted by the font converter of the company Mai & Stühlen
  2. Only screen fonts (PS_) must be used in the 3B2 document
  3. On printing in data file screen fonts must not be sent with
  4. The Distiller must avail of the original type-1 fonts that are used in the document but not sent with
If the PS data file is converted into a PDF by the Distiller under these circumstances umlauts may be searched for or by means of cut and paste included in other applications of Windows. Accented characters in Smart Fonts and all characters of PI fonts cannot be made searchable in this way. If you are in need of our font converter, please send your email request to
