I created pdf documents with PDF::API2 and PDF::Reuse, but the search function in adobe reader doesn't work. I used UTF-8 characters in both packages and an external *.ttf font to see the proper characters. Everything seems to be fine, but the search option doesn't work. Any idea? /The code is more complicated but I reduced it for better understanding./ The reduced code: 

use PDF::Reuse;
use Encode;

prFile('test.pdf');

#reading UTF-8 data from file
open FILE, "<testFile.txt";

$content = "";
while (<FILE>)
{
    $content .= $_;
}

prTTFont('arial.ttf');

 prText(100, 100, decode('UTF-8', $content));

prEnd();

close FILE;
