Hello all,

I am currently trialing FT Pro 8 and stumbled upon a perplexing issue:

I have a Pdf where text is selectable and searchable with plain old Preview, yet when indexed in FT, no text content is shown in the metadata (viewable with the "text only" FT view);therefore it is not searchable in FT !
I gather that this is an image pdf where PDFkit could be doing on-the-fly OCR in Preview ? In which case, is FT unable to perform the same action? It would avoid the need to find and perform OCR on PDF image files.

Thank you for any pointers !
