PDF file exported from Indesign can be searched for letters but not numbers in Acrobat

-

i @ moment stumped … have client whom i've created 200+ pages product catalog in indesign (a collection of 20+ indesign documents placed "master" document , layered page numbers , headers), , exported pdf. require file searchable article numbers.

 

here interesting result:

the file searchable, results searches letters, i.e. can search "stackable" , locations of "stackable" in pdf. can *not* search numbers, search returns "not found in document". exception year number (2016) turn page 40 (which halfway correct - there, it's in footer of every page of pdf it's not reported …)

 

i can search , find in pdf using other viewers (e.g. apple’s preview), that's not option client.

all text inside pdf "normal" text, can select , copy/paste no problem.

but: if select number , copy text editor, utf-8 representation of number, e.g. character(x89) becomes "c2 89" instead – guess may cause oddity. affects numbers, apparently.

what i'm wondering if there way fix it, or convince acrobat build search index includes numbers "human-searchable"?

 

i've narrowed down "place indesign doc inside indesign doc" being cause encoding problem, i'm still hoping hint/idea not boil down "rebuild catalog scratch, use intermediate pdf files , add layer of complexity/risk project" …

 

thank taking time read :-)

Adobe Refresh Managerについて

-
ノートパソコンでwindows8.1の環境のものです。今日、セキュリティーソフトの報告を見ていたら、昨日、adobe refresh managerをインストールしたことになっていました。私としては、見に覚えがありません。もしも、プログラムをインストールしたのなら、その許可を求めるウインドウが表示されるはずです が、そのようなことはありませんでした。私のノートパソコンには、adobe acrobat dcとacrobat reader dcがインストールされていて、pdfファイルなどを扱うために使っています。adobe refresh managerというのは、これらのacrobat製品に関係した正規のものでしょうか。acrobat製品の自動的なプログラムの更新が行われたということでしょうか。よろしくお願いしま す。 通常、acrobatやreaderのアップデートを管理するツール（adobearm）が常駐していますが、 それの更新処理を行うインストーラーがadobe reflesh managerのようです。 adobe reader update scheduled task? normal?
