I'm assuming he wants to do search text -- otherwise there is no point that I
can think of. Images obviously provide no text search capability.

Suppose you have an assembly with 500+ parts, but you want your techs and
assemblers (and anyone else who needs to see it) to be able to use a free viewer
rather than an expensive+propietary viewer. They want to find *where* the parts
are efficiently. Text search in Acrobat provides this. Images don't.
