Hi all, I simply had to click "add tags to document" to my downloaded copy. After Adobe adds the tags just save the file and it's searchable. I agree, it would be helpful if the tagged document could be posted online.

More info Linda, et al - I do not believe it was intentional on the part of the book's publisher to prohibit searching; rather, the PDF was not prepared correctly. It gives the error message that it can't be OCRed because the document pages contain renderable text. To fix this problem, save the PDF as a TIFF (individual TIFF files will be created for each page), then create a new PDF from these files. You will then be able to perform OCR on the new PDF, creating a file that is searchable. Perhaps the Berkman folks, if there are any on this list, would consider replacing the PDF on their site with one that is correctly formatted. HTH, Hillary ......................
