The people who wrote it are not to be trusted the pro-American Congressmen and women surely know this.
Vote it down for that reason alone!

This is the change they have been talking about. They get power and money and we get screwed.

This is inaccurate.
Acrobat Reader has had a search function built into it since version 5, I believe. And it’s free.

But don’t expect any of this disgraceful activity to give Specter pause. Nope. Far too important a bill. Even though he hasn’t a clue what it contains.

Its okay folks, this has to happen if we are going to educate the American People about President Obama’s laughable claims of ‘transparency’.

WTH are they talking about. Adobe Reader has search capabilities.
To: Crazieman
If this is true they probably printed it in hardcopy and then fed it through a large-volume PDF scanner (canon dr 2080c, canon dr 2850c, hp scanjet 7800 etc.) with OCR off.
That would not prevent someone from reversing the operation but reversing it would probably take longer since OCR is very computation intensive. Depending on the paper quality, etc., the reverse OCR operation might not yield perfect accuracy either. Perhaps most critically, the delay in reverse OCR would tend to delay the ability to analyze the bill thoroughly in real time. I can't think of why someone would do this other than to ram it through a congressional vote quickly and put congresspeople on the spot to vote in favor of something their staff had not yet had time to analyze.

Looks like what happened is that they used images on the pages that have hand written notes on them. On some of the other pages of part one, search worked fine. I got half way through downloading it and crashed, so we’ll see...
On the section I was able to get, there’s a charming little “hire my buds” section on page 60 that says the Secretary of Energy can ignore the career service and hire anyone he wants upon his own certification that they’re needed. Should just thrill the heck out of career employees.

How can this be seen as anything but tyranny? This is a coup.

Instead of publishing the bill as a regular internet document -- which people can search by key words and otherwise, the Dems took hours to convert the final bill from the regular searchable format into pdf files, which can be read but not searched. Accuracy check, ailse 2!
You can search pdf files...unless they scanned the pages manually as pictures...still you can OCR the document...

I think this will make it searchable.
Change it to word then back again.

PDF can sometimes be searched if a text recognition conversion is done on it. But if they secure it so you can’t convert it, then yes, it makes it harder to read.

The only way to fight this after it passes is to not pay taxes.
And to do that you have to register as a Democrat. That's so you can remove any possibility of being prosecuted and still run for office if you choose.
