Thanks. I tried using lowriter to make an example (test.ps), converted it to PDF with "ps2pdf test.ps" (test.pdf), and indeed, the result is not searchable in evince. By contrast, man -t time >time.ps ps2pdf time.ps produces a searchable PDF. So this is a bug or missing feature. Hints or other insights toward implementing this would be welcome.
