CUPS-PDF converts PostScript to PDF. PostScript does not support searchable text. So CUPS-PDF does not have the information available to make a searchable PDF. Many applications now generate print output in PDF format. So using CUPS-PDF means the searchable PDF from the application is converted to PostScript then converted back to PDF. That's why the print to file from the Linux print dialog is the better option.
Does wine allow printer drivers to be installed? There are PDF printer drivers such as PDFCreator that will create searchable PDFs.
