Searchable attached PDF content

[Yair Noach]

Hi, I would like to attach a PDF file to an article I am composing, Will the PDF content be searchable?  I've found a few articles in this forum however they are from 2013\17\18 , feels quite old....

Hi @Yair Noach and welcome to the community.

Yes :)

I actually didn't know it was possible but I tested that and it works.

Thank you very much for your swift reply. It is with the interface as is? you didn't install any add-on by chance that might provide you with this ability?

No, it works out of the box.

I created a Google doc and put words Bohemian Rhapsody in it. I exported it as a pdf.

Put the PDF on a page.

Searched for 'Bohemian Rhapsody' and the PDF came up in search results as a PDF. 

I clicked it, the pdf opened in a new tab.

The page's attachment view was displayed showing me the actual PDF file.

If it works for you, consider accepting the answer :)
