Subject: [NTG-context] Re: How to make words searchable without diacritics

In Adobe Reader there is an option Preferences › Categories › Search › [ ] Ignore Diacritics and Accents which you can tick to search on the underlying letter only.

If the search is for your own use only then this might be a solution rather than change the generated PDF.
