Can someone give me a link to a searchable copy of the indictment?

Several people tell me I can find it in PDF or "save it as a PDF," but I can't find any such copies. I want to search for the word "classified."

I googled Trump Documents Indictment PDF and got many many many links.

Here’s one at the DOJ:

You’ll be able to search it with your pdf reader! Your web browser might be able to search it too, see AZskiffy’s suggestion below.

But there’s a lot I don’t remember. You might try on several different documents to see if the basic search is working. Can’t speculate more.

...the idea that what the indictment document is is actually a photograph. Hence no words.

In the alternate universe!

pdf's open in the Preview app by default.
I use it for basic image editing, as well.
Handy.

I went to Word and opened the downloaded copy instead of double clicking on the downloaded copy (which yielded only bells when I put something in the search field). Word converted it and then converted it again when I tried to search. The result looked like a word document, but anything I put in the search field results in "no matches." It still had a .pdf extension so I saved As to .docx. Still just "no matches."

Ah well... I've seen it enough now that I understand they referenced "classified" a lot.

Thanks to all anyway.

No need to go through the download, save, open as PDF. The document from the DOJ:
https://www.justice.gov/storage/US_v_Trump-Nauta_23-80101.pdf

Opens up and I can search.

Chrome and perhaps Egde should handle this but I stay away from them. If you're using Safari/i-products I can't help. All browsers have different capabilities.
