cmap | Make PDF files searchable and copyable.
The cmap package is intended to make the PDF files generated by pdflatex both searchable and copyable in acrobat reader and other compliant PDF viewers. Just include the \usepackage{cmap} at the beginning of your preamble, and it will pre-load the needed CMap translations for the fonts used in the document. It works for Type 1 fonts, and also for Type 3 fonts with recent versions of pdftex. The main limitation currently is the inability to work with virtual fonts, because of limitations of pdftex, but may be resolved in a future version of pdftex. The author is Vladimir Volovich. See also pdftex.
