This code runs and creates a pdf file, but it is skipping the pages that don't have the word "Information" on it.

I am searching for the word "Information" and every time it finds it, it should print that page up to the next page where "information" shows up. 95% of the time it will be on every page of the pdf document, but 5% of the time, it could have an extra page or two in between where "information" is not on the page. When that happens I want the pdf file to print the page that has the word "Information" on it and all the following pages up to the page that next has the word "Information" on it.

Code:
Sub SearchWordInPDF()
      
    '----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    'This macro can be used to find a specific WORD in a PDF document (one word ONLY -> in
    'case you search two words for example it doesn't find anything, just opens the file).
    'The macro opens the PDF, finds the first appearance of the specified word, scrolls
    'so that it is visible and highlights it.

    'The code uses late binding, so no reference to external library is required.
    'However, the code works ONLY with Adobe Professional, so don't try to use it with
    'Adobe Reader because you will get an "ActiveX component can't create object" error.
