You have lots of control and lots of possibilities for running effective and efficient searches in Adobe Acrobat. A search can be broad or narrow, including many different kinds of data and covering multiple Adobe PDFs.

If you work with large numbers of related PDFs, you can define them as a catalog in Acrobat Pro, which generates a PDF index for the PDFs. Searching the PDF index—instead of the PDFs themselves—dramatically speeds up searches. See Creating PDF indexes.

Search and replace features overview

You run searches to find specific items in PDFs. You can run a simple search, looking for a search term within in a single file, or you can run a more complex search, looking for various kinds of data in one or more PDFs. You can selectively replace text.

You can run a search using either the Search window or the Find toolbar. In either case, Acrobat searches the PDF body text, layers, form fields, and digital signatures. You can also include bookmarks and comments in the search. Only the Find toolbar includes a Replace With option.

Find Toolbar in Acrobat
Find toolbar with Find and Replace options

When you type the first few letters to search in a PDF, Acrobat provides suggestions for the matching word and its frequency of occurrence in the document. When you select the word, Acrobat highlights all the matching results in the PDF.

Find words in a PDF

The Search window offers more options and more kinds of searches than the Find toolbar. When you use the Search window, object data and image XIF (extended image file format) metadata are also searched. For searches across multiple PDFs, Acrobat also looks at document properties and XMP metadata, and it searches indexed structure tags when searching a PDF index. If some of the PDFs you search have attached PDFs, you can include the attachments in the search.

หมายเหตุ:

PDFs can have multiple layers. If the search results include an occurrence on a hidden layer, selecting that occurrence displays an alert that asks if you want to make that layer visible.

Access the search features

Where you start your search depends on the type of search you want to run. Use the Find toolbar for a quick search of the current PDF and to replace text. Use the Search window to look for words or document properties across multiple PDFs, use advanced search options, and search PDF indexes.

Display the Find toolbar

  1. Open it by choosing Edit > Find (Ctrl/Command+F).
Find Toolbar in Acrobat
Find

A. Find field B. Find Previous C. Find Next D. Replace With expands to provide text field 

Open the Search window

  1. Do one of the following:
    • Choose Edit > Advanced Search (Shift+Ctrl/Command+F).

    • On the Find toolbar, click the arrow  and choose Open Full Acrobat Search.

    Search appears as a separate window that you can move, resize, minimize, or arrange partially or completely behind the PDF window.

Arrange the PDF document window and Search window

  1. In the Search window, click Arrange Windows .

    Acrobat resizes and arranges the two windows side by side so that together they almost fill the entire screen.

    Note: Clicking the Arrange Windows button a second time resizes the document window but leaves the Search window unchanged. If you want to make the Search window larger or smaller, drag the corner or edge, as you would to resize any window on your operating system.

     

Find and replace text in PDFs

Find and replace text in a PDF

The Find toolbar searches the currently open PDF. You can selectively replace the search term with alternative text. You replace text one instance at a time. You cannot make a global change throughout a PDF or across multiple PDFs.

  1. Choose Edit > Find (Ctrl/Command+F).
  2. Type the text you want to search for in the text box on the Find toolbar.
  3. To replace text, click Replace With to expand the toolbar, then type the replacement text in the Replace With text box.
  4. (Optional) Click the arrow  next to the text box and choose one or more of the following:

    Whole Words Only

    Finds only occurrences of the complete word you type in the text box. For example, if you search for the word stick, the words tick and sticky aren’t found.

    Case-Sensitive

    Finds only occurrences of the words that match the capitalization you type. For example, if you search for the word Web, the words web and WEB aren’t found.

    Include Bookmarks

    Also searches the text in the Bookmarks panel.

    Include Comments

    Also searches the text of any comments.

  5. Click Next.

    Acrobat jumps to the first instance of the search term, which appears highlighted.

  6. Click Replace to change the highlighted text, or click Next to go to the next instance of the search term. Alternatively, click Previous to go back to the previous instance of the search term.

Find text in multiple PDFs

The Search window enables you to look for search terms in multiple PDFs. For example, you can search across all PDFs in a specific location or all files in an open PDF Portfolio. The Replace With option is not availble in the Search window.

หมายเหตุ:

If documents are encrypted (have security applied to them), you cannot search them as part of a multiple-document search. Open those documents first and search them one at a time. However, documents encrypted as Adobe Digital Editions are an exception and can be searched as part of a multiple-document search.

  1. Open Acrobat on your desktop (not in a web browser).

  2. Do one of the following.
    • In the Find toolbar, type the search text, and then choose Open Full Acrobat Search from the pop-up menu.

    • In the Search window, type the search text.

  3. In the Search window, select All PDF Documents In. From the pop-up menu directly below this option, choose Browse For Location.
  4. Select the location, either on your computer or on a network, and click OK.
  5. To specify additional search criteria, click Show Advanced Options, and specify the options.
  6. Click Search.
    หมายเหตุ:

    During a search, you can click a result or use keyboard shortcuts to navigate the results without interrupting the search. Clicking the Stop button under the search-progress bar cancels further searching and limits the results to the occurrences already found. It doesn’t close the Search window or delete the Results list. To see more results, run a new search.

Review and save PDF search results

Review search results

After you run a search from the Search window, the results appear in page order, nested under the names of each searched document. Each item listed includes a few words of context (if applicable) and an icon that indicates the type of occurrence.

Jump to a specific instance in the search results (single PDFs only)

  1. If necessary, expand the search results. Then select an instance in the results to view it in the PDF.
  2. To view other instances, click another instance in the results.

Sort instances in the search results

  1. Select an option from the Sort By menu near the bottom of the Search window. Results can be sorted by Relevance Ranking, Date Modified, Filename, or Location.

Icons shown with search results

The icon next to an instance of the search results indicates the search area in which the instance appears. Selecting an icon has the following effect:

Document icon 

Makes the document active in the document window. Expand the list to show the individual search results within that document.

(General) Search Result icon 

In PDFs, jumps to that instance of the search term, usually in the body text of the PDF. The instance of the search term is highlighted in the document.

Non-PDF Search Result or Metadata icon []

In non-PDF files, opens the file; or if opening of that file type is restricted, opens a message dialog box.

Bookmark icon 

Opens the Bookmarks panel and highlights the instances of the search terms.

Comments icon 

Opens the Comments panel and highlights the instances of the search terms.

Layer icon 

May open a message indicating that the layer is hidden and asking if you want to make it visible.

Attachment icon 

Opens a file that is attached to the searched parent PDF and shows the highlighted instances of the search terms.

Save search results

You can save the search results as a PDF or CSV file. For a video, see Saving Search Results in Acrobat.

  1. Click  and choose Save results to PDF or Save results to CSV.

Advanced Search Options

By default, the Search window displays basic search options. Click Show More Options near the bottom of the window to display additional options. To restore the basic options, click Show Less Options near the bottom of the window.

หมายเหตุ:

You can set a preference so that More search options always appear in the Search window. In the Preferences dialog box under Categories, select Search.

Look In

Restricts the search to the current PDF, all of a currently open PDF Portfolio (if applicable), an index, or a location on your computer. If you choose to search an index, a location, or a PDF Portfolio, additional options appear under Use These Additional Criteria.

What word or phrase would you like to search for

Enter the text or phrase to search for.

Return Results Containing

Restricts your search results according to the option you choose:

Match Exact Word Or Phrase

Searches for the entire string of characters, including spaces, in the same order in which they appear in the text box.

Match Any Of The Words

Searches for any instances of at least one of the words typed. For example, if you search for each of, the results include any instances in which one or both of the two words appear: each, of, each of, or of each.

Match All Of The Words

Searches for instances that contain all your search words, but not necessarily in the order you type them. Available only for a search of multiple PDFs or index definition files.

Boolean Query

Uses the Boolean operators that you type with the search words into the What Word Or Phrase Would You Like To Search For box. Available only for searching multiple PDFs or PDF indexes.

Note: You cannot run wildcard searches using asterisks (*) or question marks (?) when searching PDF indexes.

Use These Additional Criteria (text options)

Includes the basic search options plus five additional options:

Proximity

Searches for two or more words that are separated by no more than a specified number of words, as set in the Search preferences. Available only for a search of multiple documents or index definition files, and when Match All Of The Words is selected.

Stemming

Finds words that contain part (the stem) of the specified search word. For example, a search for opening finds instances of open, opened, opens, and openly. This option applies to single words and phrases when you search the current PDF, a folder, or an index created with Acrobat 6.0 or later. Wildcard characters (*, ?) aren’t permitted in stemming searches. Stemming isn’t available if either Whole Words Only or Case-Sensitive is selected.

Include Bookmarks

Searches the text of any bookmarks, as viewed in the Bookmarks panel.

Include Comments

Searches the text of any comments added to the PDF, as viewed in the Comments panel.

Include Attachments

Searches files that are attached to the current PDF or other attached PDFs (up to two levels deep).

Use These Additional Criteria (document properties)

Appears only for searches across multiple PDFs or PDF indexes. You can select multiple property-modifier-value combinations and apply them to searches. This setting does not apply to non-PDF files inside PDF Portfolios.

Note: You can search by document properties alone by using document property options in combination with a search for specific text.

 

Check box

Applies the criteria set in the three connected options to the search. (The check box is selected automatically when you enter information in any of the three options for that set. After you enter options, deselecting the check box doesn’t clear the entries; they just aren’t applied to the search.)

First menu (property)

Indicates the document characteristic to search for. The available options include Date Created, Date Modified, Author, Title, Subject, Filename, Keywords, Bookmarks, Comments, JPEG Images, XMP Metadata, and Object Data.

Second menu (modifier)

Indicates the level of matching. If the first menu selection is a date, the available options in the second menu are Is Exactly, Is Before, Is After, Is Not. Otherwise, the available options are Contains and Does Not Contain.

Third box (value or text)

Indicates the information to be matched, which you type in. If the first menu selection is a date, you can click the arrow to open a calendar that you can navigate to find and select the date you want.

Boolean operators

Commonly used Boolean operators include the following:

AND

Use between two words to find documents that contain both terms, in any order. For example, type paris AND france to identify documents that contain both paris and france . Searches with AND and no other Boolean operators produce the same results as selecting the All Of The Words option .

 

NOT

Use before a search term to exclude any documents that contain that term. For example, type NOT kentucky to find all documents that don’t contain the word kentucky . Or, type paris NOT kentucky to find all documents that contain the word paris but not the word kentucky .

 

OR

Use to search for all instances of either term. For example, type email OR e-mail to find all documents with occurrences of either spelling. Searches with OR and no other Boolean operators produce the same results as selecting the Any Of The Words option .

 

^ (exclusive OR)

Use to search for all instances that have either term but not both. For example, type cat ^ dog to find all documents with occurrences of either cat or dog but not both cat and dog.

 

( )

Use parentheses to specify the order of evaluation of terms. For example, type white AND (whale OR ahab ) to find all documents that contain either white and whale or white and ahab . (The query processor performs an OR query on whale and ahab and then performs an AND query on those results with white.)

 

 

To learn more about Boolean queries, syntax, and other Boolean operators that you can use in your searches, refer to any standard text, website, or other resource with complete Boolean information.

Search index files of cataloged PDFs

A full-text index is created when someone uses Acrobat to define a catalog of PDFs. You can search that index rather than running a full-text search of each individual PDF in the catalog. An index search produces a results list with links to the occurrences of the indexed documents.

หมายเหตุ:

To search a PDF index, you must open Acrobat as a stand-alone application, not within your web browser.

In Mac OS, indexes created with some older versions of Acrobat are not compatible with the Acrobat X Search feature. If you have upgraded recently, update the index before using Acrobat X to search.

  1. Choose Edit > Advanced Search.
  2. Type the search text, and then click Show More Options, near the bottom of the Search window.
  3. For Look In, choose Select Index.
  4. Select an index from the list, or click Add and add an index. Repeat as needed.
    หมายเหตุ:

    To read file data about a selected index, click Info. To exclude an index from the search, select it and click Remove.

  5. Click OK to close the Index Selection dialog box, and then choose Currently Selected Indexes from the Look In menu.
  6. Proceed with your search as usual.
    หมายเหตุ:

    Selecting the Match Whole Word Only option when searching indexes significantly reduces the time taken to return results. See Creating PDF indexes.

Search features preferences

In the Preferences dialog box under Categories, select Search.

Ignore Asian Character Width

Finds both half-width and full-width instances of the Asian language characters in the search text.

Ignore Diacritics And Accents

Finds the search terms with any variation of the alphabetical characters. For example, typing cafe finds both cafe and café. Likewise, typing café finds both versions. If this option isn’t selected, typing cafe doesn’t find café, and vice versa.

Always Show More Options in Advanced Search

Shows the additional options available in the Search window, in addition to the basic options.

Show Document Title In Search Results

Displays document titles in search results. If a document does not have a title, displays the filename. When deselected, displays filenames in search results.

Maximum Number Of Documents Returned In Results

Limits the search results in the Search PDF window to a specific number of documents. The default value is 500, but you can enter any number from 1 to 10,000.

Range Of Words For Proximity Searches

Limits the search results to those in which the number of words between the search terms isn’t greater than the number you specify. Accepts a range from 1 to 10,000.

Enable Fast Find

Generates a cache of information from any PDF that you search. This cache reduces subsequent search times for that PDF.

Maximum Cache Size

Limits the temporary cache of search information for the Fast Find option to the specified size in megabytes (from 5 to 100,000). The default setting is 100.

Purge Cache Contents

Deletes the Fast Find option’s entire temporary cache of search information.
