About searching Adobe PDF documents
Acrobat includes several methods that allow you to find what you're looking for:
Search within PDF documents or a PDF index to find words or PDF files that meet
specified criteria. You can search PDF documents for words that appear in the text, layers,
form fields, digital signatures, comments, bookmarks, attachments, document properties,
custom document properties, metadata, object data, and indexed structure tags. (See
Searching for words in an Adobe PDF document.)
Quickly find and organize PDF files, and start common tasks with the Organizer window.
The Organizer window lets you find PDF files by looking through the hierarchy of your
computer's hard drive, through computer or network locations that you've designated as
Favorite Places, through Collections that you've created to group related PDF files, or
through a history of PDF files that you've opened. Once you find the PDF files that you
want to work with, you can open, print, email, send for review, or merge the PDF files
into one. (See Using the Organizer window.)
Create a PDF index with the Catalog feature to let users quickly search through multiple
PDF documents. A PDF index can include a wide variety of items besides the document
text, such as comments, bookmarks, form fields, tags, and metadata. (See About using
Catalog to index Adobe PDF documents.)
