Hello,

The FAQ on "Copy-paste-able/searchable PDF files" ( 
http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=cpy-srchpdf ) does not 
address plain TeX.

Any suggestions for generating copy-paste-able/searchable pdf files from 
plain TeX and pdftex?

By the way, in that FAQ, "PDFTeX" in the paragraph about the use of cmap 
and mmap should be "pdflatex", correct?

Thanks,

--Suresh
