I'm a DTP newbie as well as a Scribus newbie, but an old hand in IT
(60 years since - honest!)
I'm trying to help the new editor of our Village Magazine
- imaginative, very enthusiastic, but hasn't a clue about how PCs & software work
I'm newbie as well. What do you mean by "searchable"?
PDF I've generated from Scribus can be opened in a PDF reader (qpdfview in mycase) and I can use the "Find" function to search for text. And it works.
But the text was inserted into a text frame and export was done with embedding fonts not outlining them. I'm just describing my process not sure if the outlining will nor won't work.
hi hanna
as prcek suspected, if you embed the fonts (full fonts or subsets) the .pdf file will contain searchable text while outlined text just looks like text but is (technically spoken) just a vector graphic.

While viewing the PDF, enter 'CTRL' + 'f' to open a popup 'find' window.
Standard Windows shortcut.
