Some more feedback regarding devanagari pdf with Actualtext >>>> On a mac this worked with the PDF Expert app, but not with the default Finder app (the later works with simple text such as “atha”, but not when a letter combined with any other vowel or consonant such as “ruu” or “sva”.
...... I am hoping that once the XeTeXgenerateactualtext feature is implemented, it would lead to more pdf apps supporting actualtext. - sent from my phone. excuse the brevity.
