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. Use the Search window to look for words
or document properties across multiple PDFs, use advanced search
options, and search PDF indexes.
Note: In UNIX, you can also select
a word and choose Edit > Look Up, or right-click a word and choose
Look Up.
Display the Find toolbar
By default, the Find toolbar is already open. Use this procedure to open it if it has been closed.
Do one of the following:-
Choose Edit > Find.
-
Right-click/Control-click the toolbar area and choose Find on the context menu.
-
Press Ctrl+F/Command+F.
Open the Search window
Do one of the following:-
Choose Edit > Search.
-
On the Find toolbar, click the arrow
and
choose Open Full Acrobat Search. -
Press Ctrl+Shift+F.
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
In the Search window, click Arrange Windows.
Reader 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.
