Finding Text in a PDF
By default, the Find toolbar is open. If it has been closed, choose Edit > Find.
Use Find to search for text in an open PDF:
1. Enter your search terms in the Find box on the toolbar.
2. Optionally click the arrow next to the Find text box to refine your search (such as Whole
words only).
3. Press Enter. Acrobat jumps to the first instance of the search term. Pressing Enter again
continues to more instances of the term.
Finding Text in Multiple PDFs
The Search window lets you search for terms in multiple PDFs. The PDFs do not need to be
open. Either:
•
Choose Edit > Search
or
•
Click the arrow next to the Find box and choose Open Full Acrobat Search. The Search
window appears.
In the Search window:
1. Enter the text you want to find.
2. Choose All PDF Documents in.
3. From the drop-down box, choose Browse for Location.
4. Choose the location you want to search, either on your computer or on a network, then
click OK.
5. If you want to specify additional search criteria, click Advanced Search Options, and
choose the options you want.
