The fix for this is described
here:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=847462#72
Basically, making CUPS-PDF use
a different renderer restored the text
search capability. The fix that was merged in
3.0.1-3 was simply a
change in the
postinstall loop that auto-creates the PDF queue. You
can manually do the same:
lpadmin -x PDF
lpadmin -p PDF -v cups-pdf:/ -E -o
pdftops-renderer-default=pdftocairo
-m
lsb/usr/cups-pdf/CUPS-PDF.ppd
... then configure the page formatting options
in CUPS' administration
page as
usual.
