Just for the record I have 4.05, but that may not be relevant since I had no
trouble with the previous version when I tested acroread search.  Have you
downloaded the *.pdf file I produced, and tried the experiment (repeated
searches for plplot)?  The fifth try here using the GUI from

acroread plplot-5.2.0.pdf

produces the message "Attempt to release an unlocked object".  For other
searches, this error message occurs immediately.  I have never encountered
this error before.  It may have something to do with the remaining openjade
error concerning flow objects (whatever they are) that I brought to your
attention.

Again, be sure to use the current version.

info plplot-info-5.2.0/plplotdoc.info

go to Node: pl_setcontlabelparam, then try to pursue the cross-reference
*Note pl_setcontlabelformat: pl_setcontlabelformat.  The error message is
Cannot find node `pl_setcontlabelformat; Set format of n....

It is not a consistent error; from my sampling a large fraction of the info
cross-references work, but certain cases (as in this example, but there are
others as well) don't work.  These cross-reference errors have long been in
the info version of the plplot documentation.
