      Hi, I am new to Opera 38 and I need some help.
      I got this strange problem O38 does not search the pdf, I can do ctrl+F, but with that it searches around the pdf file i.e headings of the website, or any other content but not the word inside the pdf file.

      see a screenshot here: https://postimg.org/image/iu3695exd/

      Options when I right click are: https://postimg.org/image/l6k6c72mp/

      so in right click there is not option to search inside the pdf.
      what I am doing wrong?

          I have Chrome PDF Viewer installed, checked at about:plugins, cause when I disable Pdf Viewer, pdf files are downloaded.
          once I enable Chrome PDF Viewer, pdf files are opened in O38, but search not working.

            I saw them. What i was asking is a link to a PDF where you are seeing the issue.

              well those two are from University library: http://web.a.ebscohost.com.ezp.waldenulibrary.org/ehost/pdfviewer/pdfviewer?sid=5482beff-66fd-4afb-a9fc-7834116cd79e%40sessionmgr4001&vid=1&hid=4212

              not sure if you have access.

              however, I just tried to find a public pdf: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/passport/forms/pdf/PPTC054.pdf

              here I can do the search.
              So I am thinking maybe the library is blocking the search?
              Same happens in Chrome, but if I use Kami extension then I can search inside pdf. I have to go thru hundreds and hundreds of pdf, and it is pain to download, search, and discard, if I can search inside O38 would make my life easier.

                Nope, it asks for a login.

                however, I just tried to find a public pdf:

                Search works fine with this one. It would be interesting to have one that opens inside a page and not in a separate one.

                  I cannot find any other that opens inside a page other than those from library which are with pass. If anyone knows any please let us know so we can test.

                  Thanks leocg for your support.
