How do i search a pdf file

how do i search a pdf file on acrobat.com?

Currently, you cannot search the PDF content when it is placed on Cloud.
You need to use the Adobe Reader to search the PDF.
The Reader can be integrated with Acrobat.com and then you can open your files in Reader application and with ctrl-F you can search any word.
You can do some more search with multiple files using Advanced Search.
In the Reader application, choose Edit > Advanced Search.
Link to install Reader:
Adobe - Adobe Reader download - All versions

  • How do I open a PDF file with Adobe Reader if it is in iBooks

    I have a number of PDF files in my iBooks library.  I just downloaded Adobe Reader for the iPad.  I can't see how I can open those PDF files.  The only thing I seem to be able to do with them is to open them from iBooks directly.  Doing that does not provide me with the features that Adobe Reader would provide (such as searching for particular text, etc.).

    Use iTunes to save the PDF FROM iBooks, and to add them to Adobe Reader.
    Connect your iPad to your computer. Bring up iTunes on your computer.
    To save a PDF FROM iBooks, click on "Books" in the Library section on the left. Select the PDF you want to save and right-click and choose Show in Finder (Show in Explorer in Windows). Go up one level in your computer hierarchy and you'll see all the "Books" (PDFs and eBooks) in iBooks.  You can leave them here if you want to view the PDFs in iBooks in the future, or drag them to the Desktop.
    To move the PDF TO Adobe Reader:
    Return to iTunes. Click on the iPad on the left in Devices. Click on the Apps tab. Scroll down the the File Sharing section as shown below. Click on Adobe Reader. Click the Add button and select the PDFs you identified in the previous step. They'll be added to Adobe Reader

  • Problem searching some PDF files in Acrobat Reader – Non-ASCII characters

    Acrobat Reader cannot search some .pdf files.  I have put an example document up on Scribd here.
    Any attempt to search for any word that can be clearly seen to be in the document fails with “No matches were found.”
    This example document is NOT a scanned document – words and characters can be selected.
    A hex display tool shows that the characters in a PDF document that can be successfully searched are in the ASCII/1252 range (A=0x41, etc).
    Copying and pasting characters in the example document to a hex display tool shows that the characters in the document are not in the ASCII range.
    For example the letters A to Z in the example document are in the range ‘A’ = 0xDF (decimal 223), ‘B’ = 0xDE (decimal 222), through to ‘Z’ = 0xC6 (decimal 198).
    However, characters in these non-ASCII ranges are displayed perfectly by Acrobat Reader, as can be see if the example document is opened.
    Therefore, as Acrobat Reader knows what these characters are, it doesn’t seem unreasonable to say that it should be able to search for and find them.
    Tests were performed using Acrobat Reader X v10.1.4.
    Can anyone say what this problem is?

    Hi Pat, thanks for your reply. 
    Your reference to the title of that page being 'HARNESSES' indicates that, when you view that document in Adobe Reader, you are seeing 'HARNESSES', not
    "ØßÎÒÛÍÍÛÍ".  And that the remainder of the document is similarly being displayed in readable English language.
    Yes as you say, you can search for 'ß' and get hits on 'A' (to use that as an example) in the example document.
    But the need to form a word to be searched for into whatever code mapping this is using (for example having to enter "ØßÎÒÛÍÍ" for HARNESSES - I'm not even sure how that would be entered from a keyboard) doesn't seem to be very convenient.
    Its clear the example document is using some code mapping other than ASCII / Windows-1252 (which has 'A' as 0x41).  But it is also clear that Adobe Reader knows what that mapping is, and knows to use it, as its displaying (for example) 'A' for the code 0xDF. 
    So I guess the question is - why isn't Adobe Reader's knowledge of this mapping being extended to its search input?

    in digital editions how to you access the pdf file on your computer - I want to read in acrobat as digital editions too hard to read.@@

    On Mac, try looking in:
    /Users/dug.geo/Documents/Digital Editions
    On Windows, look for "Digital Editions" in "My Documents". If it's not there, look one level above "My Documents".
    If you know the filename of the PDF, you could also try doing a file system search for it.

    How can I combine different pdf files in one?

    Sara,
    It is not working. I wish to decline in having the pdf pack. How can I give up this purchase? I definitely do not want the Adobe PDF Pack anymore.
    Who do I have to contact or what do I need to do to cancel this purchase?

    How can I combine different pdf files in one?

    Hi Flávia,
    Adobe PDF Pack is an online subscription--it definitely allows you to combine several files into one PDF file. For more information about PDF Pack, see Reliably Create PDFs, Convert PDFs, & Merge PDFs Online | Adobe PDF Pack. If you don't have the full version of Acrobat, this is a great solution for combining PDF files.
    However, if you're using Acrobat (not Adobe Reader), you combine files by following these steps:
    Open a PDF file that you want to add pages to.
    Click the Pages pane on the Tools panel (on the right side of the application).
    Click Insert From File, and choose the file that you want to combine with the PDF that you opened in step 1.
    Make any changes necessary in the Insert Pages dialog box--these settings determine where the new file will be inserted.
    Click OK.
    Please let me know how it goes.
    Best,
    Sara

  • How can I prevent a PDF file from being copied, printed or downloaded? Students should only be able to view the text and and not distribute it in any way.

    How can I prevent a PDF file from being copied, printed or downloaded? Students should only be able to view the text and and not distribute it in any way.

    You can prevent it from being printed by applying a security policy to it
    in Acrobat. The rest can't be prevented, unless you spend  a LOT of money
    on DRM protection.

  • How do I combine already pdf files in pack?

    How do I combine 2 pdf files in adobe pack?

    So, if you have a PDF pack account, make sure to log in.
    Online, you would go to https://cloud.acrobat.com/combinepdf, by clicking on the "Combine Files" tab.
    Next, click the large blue button that says, "Select Files to Combine."
    Wait for the shadow-box window to appear, and select the PDF files you want to combine, either by selecting them in your computer's filesystem, from the pop-up window, or by dragging the files into the shadow-box.
    Alternatively, you may switch to Acrobat.com files, and upload any files that you have stored there.
    Click on the blue button stating continue.
    Enter a name in the box with light gray text stating "Enter combined PDF file name"
    When done, press combine.
    You should see a light grey status box in the top right stating the status of the combining, and when finished, you will see the file appear in the section toward the bottom half of your browser stating "Combined Files" - it should be the document to the furthest left-side. (If your lucky, it is already there.)
    Hopefully, this will help you!

  • How can I quickly view pdf files like I can do with Windows Picture and Fax viewer for jpg files?

    How can I quickly view pdf files like I can do with Windows Picture and Fax viewer for jpg files? I need to look at several thousand PDF files. It takes too long to open each one individually. The only thing I could think of is combining them into large groups and then using the Navigation index. But I like the way windows Picture and Fax Viewer does it because you can keep the files separate. Combining PDFs causes loss of individual file names. That would be a problem since I do need to have the individual file names.

    Windows Picture and Fax Viewer is a DLL and is started via a rundll32.exe call and can't be set as an application to handle images in Firefox 3 and later versions.
    Try to set Windows Picture and Fax Viewer as the default viewer in Windows, then it should be listed automatically in the Mozilla Firefox Browse dialog.
