As this file [ available at: 
http://faculty.bbc.edu/rdecker/documents/prin_prts.pdf ] is s .pdf file, 
there is no question of "embedded fonts" or " dynamic fonts" as some 
browsers refer to them. A .pdf file is actually a graphic file -- hence one 
cannot do a search on the text. [ However, I see that the latest version of 
the Adobe Acrobat reader  v. does have a "search" item on the menu --- but 
this relies on the compiler of the file to have included an index within 
the .pdf file. ]

Another great advance with version 4.05 of Adobe ( for Windows at least ) 
is this:

 >>accessible to the blind and vision impaired. Please see 
http://access.adobe.com to download or for more information.>>

Rod Decker's file is nicely laid out -- ironically the parts, in a "normal" 
font are actually marginally clearer than the 'present' which is in "bold".
