Snapshot Viewer

[Jonathan]

Can you search for text in Snapshot Viewer? I don't see Search listed under
any menu and <Cntl> F doesn't work.

I'd like to convert a number of Access reports from .pdf to .snp files, but
unless the audience can search in the reports, they'll be losing valuable
functionality.

PDF is the preferred output format for Reports.
The Snapshot object does not expose the text contained within the file. I
wrote a tool a few years ago that parsed the individual Enhanced Metafile
records to access the contained text but I never went any further with it.
So while it is possible to perform a search of the Snapshot text it is a lot
of work for very little results.
