I have two manuals, cont-enp.pdf (2001) and contextref.pdf (2013). I often have to go to cont-enp.pdf because contextref.pdf is unsearchable. Is it indeed unsearchable? Or is something wrong at my end? G

Where did you download your version? I'd like to test with exactly the same.

Google gave me (among the first hits): http://staff.science.uva.nl/~hansm/docs/context/contextref.pdf and http://pmrb.free.fr/contextref.pdf Both searchable. /Mikael

I don’t know where I got it but the one I had (MacTeX?) was unsearchable and had not working links. But yours is OK. Thanks. G On 17 Aug 2014, at 20:57, Mikael P. Sundqvist wrote:

It turns out my version of Mac OS X is to blame. When you open a PDF in Safari and you want to save it, you need to open it in Preview first. But when you then save it somewhere from Preview, searching and other stuff is damaged. It apparently is not saved ‘as is’. G On 17 Aug 2014, at 22:15, Gerben Wierda wrote:

Hi Gerben, You do not need to use Preview. If you move your cursor to bottom middle of the PDF in Safari among otherthings a save button shows up! If you click it, your PDF is saved to the standard download location. If you want to save the PDF somewhere else then you can do it from the page where the link is and right-click it to get a pop up menu and you can the download the pdf to where you want it and even rename it. regards Keith.

Yes, that is what I did. But that only works for links where the parent dir actually lets you right click on the link. Doesn’t work (for instance) for a link like http://pmrb.free.fr/contextref.pdf received in the mail, as http://pmrb.free.fr/ does not contain a link to the file. G
