Search Feature in Acrobat 6.0

Recently scanned a document into a PDF with Canon software. Images are viewable but the search feature returns "0 results" for words that appear several times. Is there a way to troubleshoot this? Guidance sought.

In order to use the search feature you must first OCR the document.

Search feature missing from Acrobat reader?

I loaded a PDF file out to my Touchpad but there does not appear to be any search feature in the Acrobat reader? Am I doing something wrong?
Post relates to: HP TouchPad (WiFi)

I agree and made the suggestion. Maybe if enough of us ask, the feature will be implemented.
Go to the Software Manager, click on Adobe Reader, click on "report a problem", click the drop down and choose "other".

It's a 3rd party app. You really should contact Adobe Support and/or post in the Adobe Forums

Use Software Update or the OS 10.6.8 combo update to update your OS. Also, update everything SU has to offer for your computer. When done, repair permissions and restart your computer.

Reading Adobe pdf (with search feature)

Is there a way for me to read adobe pdf's on the iPhone? Anybody mind explaining the best way to do this?
And if so, is there a way for me to use the Acrobat search feature that allows you to type in a word and cycle through them in the text?
Thanks

Hi thanks very much.
Does anyone know if one of the apps in particular would allow for an acrobat-type ability to search (and enter a page number).
I tried downloading a 19 MB file from my ftp (came down fine) but there does not appear to be an ability to store this file which means you have to re-download it every time you want to view it. It also seems like the OS gets stuck when you try to scroll over many pages.
Anyone got suggestions as well as perhaps another support/news site that deals with this type of functionality?
Thanks for any help.

Okay, i have 2 bugs with maverick. First, when I delete a file within a window, the files deletes but the preview doesn't delete until I close the window and reopen it. Second, I work on a network of computers and the search feature is now buggy...

Okay, i have 2 bugs with maverick. First, when I delete a file within a window, the files deletes but the preview doesn't delete until I close the window and reopen it. Second, I work on a network of computers and the search feature is now buggy... When I search for a file, A) it asks me if it's a name, or it wont produce anything, and B), its slower than in prior OS versions and in some instances I have to toggle to a different directory and go back to my original directory in the search: menu bar or the search wont produce anything... Very buggy.

It appears to me that network file access is buggy in Maverick.
In my case I have a USB Drive attached to airport extreme (new model) and when I open folders on that drive they all appear empty. If I right click and I select get info after a few minutes! I get a list of the content.
It makes impossible navigate a directory tree.
File access has been trashed in Maverick.
They have improved (read broken) Finder. I need to manage a way to downgrade to Lion again.

Looking for a free app for secure note taking with search feature (unlimited)

Hi dudes,
As the topic suggests, I'm looking for a free app for secure note taking with search feature without any restriction on the number of notes or any other major restriction. I already use HiDisk (which lacks search feature), and security note+ (which has limitation on the number of notes). I also have used My Disk which its search feature doesn't work correctly (it's buggy).
Thank you.

One named NotePad is free, saves as .txt files.
Another, WriterRoom, costs $1.99USD, and saves as .txt and .doc files.

I am looking for a specific photo in my event folder, it does not show up, yet when I use the search feature, the photo is there. Why doesn't it show up in the folder?

I am looking for a specific photo in my event folder, it does not show up, yet when I use the search feature the picture is there. Why doesn't it show up in the folder?

What system and iPhoto version are you running?
If your're using iPhoto 9 or later Command (right) - click on the photo in the search window and select Show Event in the Contextual menu.
That will take you to the event where the photo is.

Is the search feature no longer working?

I have been trying to search the KBase for answers to posters questions but no matter what text I type in I simply get sent to a page that asks me to select a country, when I do it simply takes me to the main forum page. The same thing happens on the main forum page also. No matter what you do it won't work. If you are in a specific forum and use the search feature it will work within that forum but I cannot get it to work using the advanced search or on a search for a particular Kbase article. Even some of the links to kbase articles that I had return me with the same error. In fact, all of them do.
It seems a shame that all that knowledge is going to waste!!
Is there any idea what is happening and a timetable as to when it will be operational again?

Hi Al --
I've experienced this, too. I don't know the cause, but a work-around is, when you get that "select a country page," simply hit the "back" button on your browser so that you're once again on the search page and then hit the search button again.
It's worked for me in the past and I just tried it again just now to make sure and it still works.

The search feature in Address Book no longer works

I have over 2,400 contacts. For no apparent reason the search feature in my Apple Address Book no longer works. The Address Book app has quit several times recently, again for no apparent reason. It is probably unrelated, but Preview has also been quitting. I have repaired permissions and used Disk Warrior 4.4 to rebuild the directory. Any thoughts?

That was a while back...after a little research to jog my memory, it had to do with iCloud. I found this on another page, and I think this is what I did to fix it:
"I had the same problem and fixed it a slightly different (and probably safer) way:
Backup your Address Book - File > Export > Address Book Archive
Go into preferences > iCloud - untick syncing for Contacts
When it asks you, tell it to delete the contacts from your local Mac (all your local address cards will be deleted but they will still be in iCloud)
All your cards should now be deleted from Address Book on your Mac
Quit Address Book
Go into preferences > iCloud - tick syncing for Contacts (this will download your contacts into Address Book again)
Open Address Book and after a few secs you should see all your cards and the problem should be fixed"
The important part is to be sure to export your Address Book before doing anything. I think I ended up afater deleting all the cards and quitting address book, I reimported them from the backup I exported. Has been fine since. This is pretty safe as long as you have that exported file.

[Forum FAQ]How do I add a search feature in the parameter with long drop down list?

Introduction
There is a scenario that thousands of values in the drop-down of a parameter. Scrolling through the large drop down list is slow and cumbersome. Is there a way that we add a search feature in the report, so that it can filter down the values in the drop
down list to a smaller list of values?
Solution
To achieve this requirement, we can add a parameter with multiple keywords ahead, then all of available values which are begin with the keyword will display in the parameter list. In this scenario, we can create cascading parameters. One is a keyword parameter,
and the other parameter is based on the keyword to display the available values.
In order to enable the user to type multiple keywords, we can use the query below to create a split function which takes the list and the de-limiter as input parameters and splits all the values in the database:
CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[SplitParameterValues] (@InputString NVARCHAR(max), @SplitChar VARCHAR(5))
RETURNS @ValuesList TABLE
param NVARCHAR(255)
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @ListValue NVARCHAR(max)
SET @InputString = @InputString + @SplitChar
WHILE @InputString!= @SplitChar
BEGIN
SELECT @ListValue = SUBSTRING(@InputString , 1, (CHARINDEX(@SplitChar, @InputString)-1))
IF (CHARINDEX(@SplitChar, @InputString) + len(@SplitChar))>(LEN(@InputString))
BEGIN
SET @InputString=@SplitChar
END
ELSE
BEGIN
SELECT @InputString = SUBSTRING(@InputString, (CHARINDEX(@SplitChar, @InputString) + len(@SplitChar)) , LEN(@InputString)-(CHARINDEX(@SplitChar, @InputString)+ len(@SplitChar)-1) )
END
INSERT INTO @ValuesList VALUES( @ListValue)
END
RETURN
END
Use the query below create a stored procedure to return all available values for Account parameter:
create PROCEDURE sp (@keyword nvarchar(50))
AS
SELECT AccountDescription
FROM DimAccount d
inner join (SELECT [param] FROM SplitParameterValues (@keyword,',')) s on d.AccountDescription like (s.[param]+'%')
In Report Designer, select Stored Procedure as the Query type for DataSet1, then select or type sp in the drop-down list as below:
By default, there is a parameter named keyword in the Parameters pane.
Add a multi-value parameter named Account in the report, then select “Get values from a query” option for Available Values as below:

Hmmm. This didn't work. I even re-booted, and Firefox still doesn't show the search engine.
It was actually an update to an earlier engine, and I foolishly removed the old version rather than just updating it.
Is there anything elsewhere (eg. the registry) that might be preventing this?

Commenting features slowing Acrobat 9.0.3 to a crawl

I was wrong in my previous thread about Adobe Updater being the culprit for the horrendous slowdowns in Acrobat Pro 9.0.2. Updater.acroplugin is not the problem.
Apparently, the commenting feature of Acrobat is what grinds it to a halt. If I disable any one of the plugins required for the comments option to show up in the menu bar (AcroForm.acroplugin, WebLink.acroplugin, EFS.acroplugin, and possibly others), Acrobat becomes excruciatingly slow.
Does anyone know of a way to make the commenting feature of Acrobat move faster? It takes about 30 seconds for it to respond to any click or movement of the mouse.

OH. MY GOSH. IT'S FIXED!!
I have spend the past 2 hrs on the phone with Adobe and Apple tech support. Adobe had me try creating a brand new user account and opening Acrobat. It opened fine with commenting enabled. So that seemed to indicate that the problem was somewhere in my User library.
So after trying various things that didn't fix it, including deleting the entire preferences folder, and starting in safe mode (hold down shift while rebooting until you see the grey apple, then wait 10-15 minutes for it to load).
Finally, he had me pull this folder out and move it to the desktop:
HD: userfolder: homefolder: library: application support: adobe: acrobat
After that, like magic, it works at full speed again.
He warned that he has no idea what Adobe might need that folder for, so you shouldn't trash it completely, but leave it on the desktop until you know for sure.
I'm happy once again! I hope this solves your problem too.

FIND FEATURE ON ACROBAT READER X

I am trying to determine why I cannot use the search feature on AR X on pdf documents that I have created on my own multifunction machine. Can anyone help?

Most likely because the documents are the result of a scan and did not undergo OCR (Text Recognition), so they don't have any real text to search for. Can you select the text in the documents using the mouse? If no, then you can't search for it, either.

Non-working find/search feature

Neither the Find nor the Search feature works in Adobe reader (the relevant document was downloaded from an online database -- perhaps Academic Search Premier or Ebscot -- I do not recall). A message is returned that word is not found even for a word that I know is in the document. These tools are needed for reviewing documents of hundreds of pages.

If the file is a scanned images of pages, then the words are not really in the pdf file only a picture of the word.

The search feature in Add Places cannot find any locations.

When I try to add places, the search feature cannot find any locations. I can, however, drag and drop photos onto locations on the map. I've tried contacted support twice and they have not been helpful at all. I would appreciate any help.

You installed a search plugin. Why not look for it the search bar?
