Why is FileLocator Pro not finding text in my PDF file?

RSS
Main reasons why FileLocator Pro may not find text in a PDF document:

1. PDF file is password protected.

2. PDF security settings prohibit text being extracted from the document (i.e. in the security settings 'Content Copying or Extraction' must be allowed).

3. PDF file is simply an embedded image and not text.
