It's not a matter of distiller, but how the Postscript version was
generated: it used Type 3 fonts (ie bitmaps) instead of Type 1 fonts
(ie outlines). Our fault, sorry. To make a searchable PDF we'd have
to regenerate the PS version. It's probably just a matter of digging
out the correct version of the TeX source, but I'm afraid we're
concentrating our efforts now in releasing 5.0 beta (real-soon-now :-).
