Searching broken within spec PDF output #3

Description

I've heard that people are having trouble searching for text within the SYCL 1.2.1 spec PDF. Some of the issues appear to be on Mac specifically, but others are cross-platform. The problem may be related to underscores - that's where there are known reproductions.

Problem 1: Searching for italicized text with an underscore misses matches, even on a PDF reader under Windows. For example, SYCL1.2.1r5, p.76, the table has cl_command_queue_info in the right column. I can't make my PDF reader find any portion of the text, once I add an underscore to it.

Problem 2: Non-italicized hits missing on some Mac readers (Safari/Preview). A reproducer of the problem is async_handler. Searching with Safari/Preview on Mac apparently finds 8 results, while Acrobat reader on Mac finds 33 (which is consistent with what I see with a different reader in Windows).
