How do I search for documents? They are all in folders in Adobe Reader on my iPad.

Opening each folder in Adobe Reader to search for a document is very slow.  Is there some way of searching?

Currently, Adobe Reader for iOS supports search in the currently open (single) PDF document but not multiple PDF documents in folder(s).  Sorry for the inconvenience.

    How do I make document folders in adobe reader app on iPad? Thanks

    First show the Documents list, and in the upper left tap the Edit button. A toolbar in the upper left you'll see a folder icon with a + superimposed. Tap that and you'll be prompted to Create a Folder. Enter the folder name and tap the Save button and your new folder will appear in the Documents list.

  • How do I search for a file across all my macs on my network

    I have three macs. Two operate wirelessly, one does not, but they are all part of the same network.
    Does anyone know how to search all macs simultaneously for a particular file? I have leopard installed on all macs.
    Thanks

    Apparently, the "Shared" search location button only shows up if you first connect to some 'sharepoint' from the Sidebar "SHARED" list and the sharepoint 'volume' then appears in the Sidebar "DEVICES" list. For me, not all 'volumes' do this -- just those that are really some sub-directory of a remote Mac do, but not (for instance) those that are that Mac's complete, top level startup volume.
    BTW, even when the button does show up, the searches are very slow & usually don't find items on the remote Mac that I expect they should.
    I think it is a bug, or more accurately an incompletely implemented feature.

  • How can I search for files in System and Library folders

    This arrose when I tried to find Archive Utility.app. Neither a Finder search or Spotlight found it, apparently because it is in Hard Drive/System/Library/CoreServices and the System folder is not searched. I've had similar problems when trying to find things in Library. How can I search these folders?

    You can enable the Finder to include System files in its search
    In a Finder finder window select Kind then Other… locate System files in the list and click the checkbox.

  • Search for text in PDF by VBA with only Adobe Reader installed

    My problem is widely known and frequenty posted, for instance:
    "Can anyone help me to open and search for a specific text string in a PDF document, return a true or false indicator (and nothing else)?"
    The answers mostly refer to and include
      Set gApp = CreateObject("AcroExch.App")
    which, as I understand, works only with a certain level of Adobe Acrobat being installed.
    My question now:
    I want to give this type of functionality (via an MSAccess Form, i.e. populate a ComboBox with PDF filenames which answer YES to certain text occurences)  to - say 20 - users in my company who have Adobe Reader 9.1 installed and not more.
    Bying this number of Adobe Acrobat licenses for just this purpose would be a heavy overkill which I just can't afford.
    Any suggestions? many thanks in advance.

    Now we would like to search in this PDF binary for an special text or string to use them for changing filename. Is there any way to do that?
    Based on your posting it sounds a bit like you're doing ABAP processing. However, I'll ignore that for now and just say that in the Java environment I have had good experience with the Java Library [iText PDF|http://itextpdf.com/]. I'm not sure what SAP offers in that area, but they must have something, because [TREX|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/a4/929d4206b70931e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm] "understands" PDF (though that doesn't mean that you have a nice API for parsing PDFs).
    You probably investigated this already, but I'd take a look at possibilities to hook in before (or at the time) the PDF gets generated (might be easier to craft and export a filename there). Thanks to the [enhancement framework|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp2/helpdata/en/94/9cdc40132a8531e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm] you usually have quite a few ways to get things done...
    Note that even if you're able to read a PDF, it doesn't necessarily mean that you can parse it the way you want. A silly example would be scanned pages, where the page is stored as an image and at best the scanner software runs some OCR (with possibly buggy results) to provide capabilities for searching the PDF. In your case that's probably not an issue, but still the question might be if the information you're looking at is structured enough to get it back...

  • How can I search for document content, specific words, in my scanned (and searchable) pdf files?

    When using spotloght to search my files for text within a scanned document, I may or may not find documents that were scanned by a scan program (ScanSnap) to a searchable PDF file on a firewire attached drive.
    Is there a specific manner that yeilds useable results 100% of the time?

    Spotlight should index PDF files (as well as Word and some other kinds of files) but it seems that PDFs are not created equal. I've seen and heard complaints that some scanner/OCR programs are saving files that aren't searchable and yours is one of them. Try opening one of the files in Preview and resaving it.

  • How do I correct invisibles? They are all showing up as squares

    All of a sudden Pages displays squares that are not aligned with the text instead of the normal invisible characters. I have deleted all the plist files, and that didn't fix it.
    Apple is chasing iCloud butterflies and it is obvious from their neglect of Pages that they have scheduled it for the guillotine in favor of iCloud Pages Jr., which is trendy but has a stunted feature set.  I use Pages daily to prepare printed documents, so I am already in mourning for my favorite word processor, whose absence diminishes the usefulness of my Mac. So I appeal to my fellow orphans for help.

    Could you supply a screenshot of the document?

    Hi Hassiman,

  • How do I delete a document or a page, I am using Adobe Reader XI

    TOOLS has no delete, just export,create, send, store files.
    EDIT delete does not work, SELECT ALL delete does not work.???

    Adobe Reader (free) doesn't do those things. Adobe Acrobat ($$) does.

  • How do I search for and select a repeating phrase in a file.

    How do I search for and select a repeating phrase in a file read via Applescript. The file contains details of phone calls submitted to a charity and I want to be able to analyse the types of call taken. The phrase is 'Type of enquiry' and I want to extract the description that follows. I am a beginner at Applescript and have been working my way through Applescript 1-2-3 but cannot find an obvious solution although I have manged to open and read the file! All suggestions gratefully received.

    In applescript you can use something like the following:
    set {oldTID, my text item delimiters} to {my text item delimiters, "Type of enquiry"}
    set dataBits to text items of textToParse
    set my text item delimiters to oldTID
    the variable dataBits, then, will be a list where every list item is a string that starts with the text following that phrase. 
    You could do regular expressions searches as well, but you'd need to download and install the Satimage osax.

  • Users are unable to print from Adobe Reader X

    Hi,
    Multiple users in our environment report that they are unable to print from Adobe Reader X. They receive the following error messages (translated from Dutch) Document cannot be printed. There are no pages selected.
    We are using Reader version 10.1.3
    What we have tried to resolve the issue (without any positive results):
    - Repair the installation of Adobe Reader.
    - Update Adobe Reader to the latest version for Vista (x86) (10.1.7)
    - Created new user profile for the affected users.
    The documents can be printed without any errors from Foxit Reader.
    At the moment we use the following workaround:
    Open the document in Internet Explorer, and then print the document from there.
    Does anyone have any idea how we can resolve this?
    Best regards,
    Duncan

    James,
    I'm sorry to hear that you were having the same problem under 9.5.  I had recently updated to Adobe Reader 10 under Windows 7 and yesterday my "default printer" simply disappeared from the options on my control panel.  I re-installed my printer, but today whenever I would open a PDF document and try to print it, the document would simply close with no further ado.  After a bit of trial and error, I ended up uninstalling Adobe Reader 10 and going back to Adobe Reader 9.5.  Now everything is working just fine.

  • Some contacts have disappeared from my phone contacts. They are still in the phone because if someone calls me their name appears and if i search in text for contacts they are still there - but if i search in phone contacts they are not there, Help

    Some contacts have disappeared from my phone. Not all just random ones. They are still in the phone because if someone (who has disappeared from my phone contacts calls me their name appears and if i search in text messages for contacts they are still there - but if i search in phone contacts they are not there, Help!

    But once again, I do not want to lose my other texts, app progress, and photos. I could sync the photos but i would still lose the app progress and texts. I would only restore if it was the only option left, but the other space, as already stated, isnt the main concern. The main concern is those 'deleted' texts. If they go, then a good size chunk of the other space goes. I know you CAN delete texts for good. It worked fine before. All i want to know is why its not working for me now, and how to fix it.
    I also know that when you delete texts on your iphone, they get marked for deletion, however they stay on your device (thats why they show up when you search for them.) then when you sync your device with itunes, the texts marked for deletion should disappear. When i synced they didnt disappear. Thats what i need an explanation/solution for. Why the texts marked for deletion didnt get fully deleted after the sync.

  • How do i search for a keyword in a document inside CMS?

    I have several documents uploaded into CMS.
    At runtime, how do i search for a particular keyword in a document which is present inside CMS?
    Any idea would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    -Nach.

    If you're talking about searching based on the content of the documents uploaded, you will definitely need to integrate with a search engine to do periodic indexing of your content. The two most common search engines used with WLP are Autonomy (a light version is included with WLP) and Apache Lucene (free, highly customizable solution).
    You should find good docs and articles on dev2dev to get started with either one.
