Hi I'm using the latest beta of FTPro (Version 7.0b9 build 2297) on Mac OS Catalina 10.15.5 (all the latest)


I've done a proximity search and several documents are listed, but the preview pane is not showing the highlighted search phrases with FoxTrot Preview.

OK I've read the stuff on the website about using Xpdf instead etc etc and tried it. No change.

I'm thinking, must be a problem with my PDFs.
I exported a sample PDF to a different document (Save as PDF). No change.

I clear the OCR layer in my document and re-do the OCR. No change.

I even export the whole document to PNGs, create a new PDF and run OCR. No change.

However, when I do a different search, "consecutive words" and not "neighbouring words", I get the search highlights in my document. Hooray but WTF???

So it seems to be an issue with the proximity search, not the actual PDF or the OCR.

But then I run a test search with a different search phrase, and the preview highlighting works perfectly!!

Does this make sense to anyone??

Thanks!!
