I have recently published a book I have produced with LyX / XeTeX. However, as I'm preparing an electronic version I have discovered that I cannot search the PDF. I find this fairly odd since a PDF produced with the standard pdf output function works perfectly fine. With XeTex, however, this doesn't work at all.
Can anyone help?

Re: Can't search pdf when output with XeTex
I fiddled around some more with it and I discovered that it is possible to search for text in the viewer output. However, once I save the document I can still copy & paste words, but what I paste are not letters but some symbols. Maybe it's a problem with the Preview application of OSX?
