Just to be clear - Calibre is different in that it can't do OCR, while Acrobat can. His pdf book had been previously run through an OCR conversion. There are lots of pdf books out there that are scanned images of pages only, Other books are like his - they have images of the page and hidden OCR text that can be searched. The latter can be converted by Calibre, but it's terrible.
