In Adobe Reader there is an option Preferences › Categories › Search › [ ] Ignore Diacritics and Accents which you can tick to search on the underlying letter only. If the search is for your own use only then this might be a solution rather than change the generated PDF.

I have a lot of latin words in a document with the length of the vowels indicated by diacritics, for example: fīlĭa.
Is it possible somehow to make these words searchable without the diacritics? That is, if I make a search for filia in the final pdf file, fīlĭa would also be found?
