Creating searchable PDFs

Is there a way to create searchable PDFs in CrossOver Mac?

I have tried using both CUPS and PDFwriter, but the resulting output is printable, but not searchable using either Adobe Reader or Preview.

Not that I'm aware of. The searchability usually comes from the PDF generator itself (not Crossover) or the viewer application.

When I use either CUPS or PDFwriter directly from the Mac OS (Snow Leopard), the resulting PDFs are searchable, but when I use them through CrossOver, the PDFs are not searchable. Any thoughts as to why?

Strange indeed. I reproduced what you're saying and will file a bug about this, but I don't have any workarounds at this time.

Has a solution to this problem via the bug report been found yet?
