Can I search for pdf and word documents at the same time in finder?

I often want to search for more than one file type at a time - for instance pdfs and word docs in a directory, or Jpgs, GIFs, PNGs etc.
Can I do this in the finder in one go (so I can save it as a folder I can then select when I want to)?
I tried typing OR between the 'tokens' it creates, but then it just searches for OR - so not as intelligent as one would think?!
Surely there must be a way to do something as simple as this?
regards
Rob

Forget the whole "tokens" business (I think that is a pretty useless "improvement" to constructing Spotlight searches). Hit command-F to bring up the search window, and set your first criteria, in the example I changed it from the default Kind to Created Date, to keep the number of results manageable. Now hold down the Option key and click on the "+" at the end of the criteria line, it will change to "..." and you get a new criteria line. From the dropdown menu choose "Any" if necessary (this will give you the Boolean OR), then enter what you want in the first sub-head. To get a second sub-head OR criteria click the "+" at the end of the Any line.
I don't generate many MS Word docs, so I just stopped in the example above after typing Microsoft, since that brought up all the MS anything I have from this year (a couple of Power Point thingies sent to me by friends).

We should be able to separately search for PDFs or PDF Portfolios

PDFs and PDF Porfolios are not the same. We should be able to separately search for them.
At least Bridge should be able to identify them.
Thanks, Michael

Only if we can also vote to get rid of channels as well.

How does full-text search for pdf files work?

Hi there,
Basically I can see my pdf file in the content server.. inside the pdf there's a piece of test that says: "Test's Sample" but when I do a search with that string the file gets filtered from the results.
I think it has to do with the ' (single quote) being there because other text in the pdf works fine.. so I was wondering how does VDK store this full text? where? I'd like to see how it gets translated IF that's how it works with pdf files....
Following advice from Re: Parse error with search query I tried doing the search by:
Test\'s Sample
Test`s Sample
"Test's Sample"
The database is db2 if that helps.. how can I fix this problem?

Nevermind, I fixed it by changing the VDK filters (in case someone is looking for a solution too).
Cheers,

Search for PDF file content

I am currently receiving hundreds of pdf attachments daily basis and am storing these pdf files in a file system. I am looking for a solution that will allow me to use full text search on these these files. Can someone help me out.
Thanks
Sam

I am talking about server level full text search not an individual search on a file. For exmple, if you have 1000 pdf files and you want to find out what file or files contain the word "shopping". Is there a adobe plug in that I need to buy? Do I need to store these files in a database rather than in file system?

How to search for all PDF files on my hard drive

How can I search for all of a file type on my hard drive without getting documents that happen to have the text in them? i.e. PDF or DOC or XLS
Thank you

Put the search term in quotes, and do not forget the . (dot)

OT: Aperture analogue for .pdf, .eml, .doc etc?

Does anyone know if there is a way to view .eml and attachments such as .pdf, .jpg, .doc etcetera in some kind of real size 8 1/2 x 11 inch view on my MacPro or MacBookPro? I am struggling right now with portfolio submissions that I am trying to organize and while I have previously printed out the email /and/ the cover letter /and/ the portfolio, this is getting increasingly difficult to handle.
Is there some kind of software that acts like Coverflow on steroids that will let me drop these into a folder and scroll through them very quickly like I handle my images in Aperture (small icons on left and choice of display and sizes etc) in the Browser?
Somehow Coverflow does not quite cut it since I need to save out the .eml and the .pdf and the .doc (and it is also not showing me the full pdf or the full .doc just the cover page) and Mail or Postbox will let me organize the emails themselves but the attachments stay pretty buried until I open them.
Is there such an animal on the mac continent?
TIA

Hi CO.
Thanks so much for the help here. Sorry for the OT.
Aperture seems really great at making access to images very easy and I am sort of struggling to get my other items together as I push this port to mac forward.
Is it possible there is something that will just sort of "lay them out" or "splay them out" in a way that Aperture seems so good at? I got to realizing that Coverflow and Quicklook are really awesome but I'm wondering if there is a way to expand on this or minimize the organization that is required. I've been looking at FileMaker and I'm also wondering if there isn't some kind of /linkage/ that I can make between my data.
I mean, the problem I am having is that if I take 100 resumes from within Postbox (my Mail equivalent) I have to first move them to a dedicated folder and then I have no real way of seeing the imagery in the portfolios unless I click on the email, select the portfolio and then hit the spacebar and do a quicklook. This will only give me a cover page and then I have to double click on the pdf or .doc or whatever to actually see the contents.
I /think/ Aperture handles pdf's in the same way but if I import them into Aperture (and not all of them will be pdf) I then have disconnected them from their .doc coverletter or even the email that they came in with. You follow me? I mean, I am just sort of hoping to knit this info together a little better in a way I can see it and it isn't buried.
I bought Papers to organize and search for pdf's but somehow this type of thing still seems like the documents that should go together are all going to be very segregated and also hard to see unless you specifically open them. Just thinking out loud and hoping for a recommendation but I almost want a Aperture-Preview-Coverflow hybrid in a way...
I mean, I have organized these into 3 Ring binders so I can pull them out and see it all at once but I can't figure out how I would do this in my mac which really should be the place I handle this from now on...
Do you see where I am at?

How do I search for sticky notes in a PDF doc?

Several people (at work) have commented on a 440-page document that I created, using sticky notes to write their comments in. When I first open the document, the sticky notes are all closed. The icon for a closed sticky note is pretty small and not brightly colored, so they're easy to miss when scrolling through hundreds of image-heavy pages. I am hoping that it's possible to search for each occurrence of a sticky note.
If there is no way to search for the notes, is there a command I can use to open all the notes in the file (in one action) so that they are larger and easier to spot?
Platform: Windows 8 PC
Version: Acrobat 8
If this is not a feature available in Acrobat 8, is it possible to do this in later versions?
Apologies if this is not the right community for this question, but none of the ones listed seemed like the obvious choice, and there is no "miscellaneous" or "general" category. If there is a better community for the question, please let me know.
Thanks,
Joyce.

Out the gate you've a problem.
The Acrobat 8 product family passed into "End of Support" many years ago (well before the release of Windows 8).
"End of Support" means -- well, just that eh.
The Acrobat 8 product family is not compatible with Windows 8.1, 8 or 7.
The Acrobat XI product family is compatible with Windows 8 / 8.1.
Regarding Comment and Mark Up Annotations:
With Acrobat 8 Pro use the "Comments List".
Same wit Acrobat 9 Pro, X Pro and XI Pro.
May be available with the various versions' "Standard" release.
The contents of a Comments List can be exported to a PDF report.
The filter an be used to display specific characteristics / attributes which then become the reports content when you output a report.
Having "8" the Help PDF file got loaded with the install of "8".
Use it to review the information provided on the Comments List.
Be well...

Looking for a free iOS 4 app that can search through .pdf files or spreadsheets

Thanks

Hey there
"pdf creator" for iPad works flawlessly for me working with pdf files
It takes care of all my needs
I'm not sure about sending via Wifi or Bluetooth but I send them via e- mail all the time
Possibly it could handle your needs as well
Just type it into the App Store search field and the first one that comes up is the one I use
Jump on over there and read up on it before buying and see if it will help you
Hope this helps

Looking for an App that supports Text Searching in PDF (more complex finding text))

I try to explain it clearly since my English not good
when I using Ipad to search with some app like PDF expert. I can search words if I only type one single words or I type more than one words but these words are continuous in one sentence. Example like this
In this case. I type "and for the", and I got the result, because these three words are contiunuous in one sentence
But if I type words that not continuous but seperated in the file like this one. I don't get any result.
So, I'm looking for an app that read pdf and can search multiple words at same time. Like what preview does in the mac
See in the mac preview, we can search different words at same time and still get all the results.
So, Is there any similar PDF app that offer same function on IPad?
THanks so much

Yes, PDFPen for the Mac does do multiple word searching. I just tried it using this example:
I searched the iPad User Guide for "switch control". It only found those two words together.
Next, I searched for "switch". It found additional occurrences.
I did find, however, that I was required to place the two words "switch control" inside double quotes to find the two words together (and only that string).
UPDATE: Oops, sorry, the above statemant about the double quotes being required is false. Sorry, I used Preview by accident when I wrote that.
Indeed, PDFPen works just as you seem to want ... searching for "switch control" (without quotes in the search string) finds only those two words together.
UPDATE 2: Oops ... it sounds like this is just exactly the opposite of what you want. You are looking for something that, when searching for "switch control", finds all occurrences of "switch" and all occurrences of "control". If that is right, PDFPen won't help you.

Unable to search for words in a pdf document

I am using Adobe Reader Ver 10.1.1 (All updates)
I have a pdf document in which I am unable to search for words. No words in the document are found even though they do exist. If I copy a word from within the document and paste it into the search criteria then instead of getting the word that I copied, I get substitute characters and it can in fact find these characters as the word being searched.
The document is a catalog and can be downloaded from the following URL.
http://www.carbatec.com.au/getcatalogue?zenid=d1cuvbat0ois0g37r0r33vnah1
I will appreciate any help as to why I cannot search for words in the document.

Thank you Dave Merchant and try67 for your responses. As per my previous post, I contacted the company re the catalogue and they have responded favourably. I'll include their response because it gives the reason for the search failure as document compression which you might find interesting. I'll await their new catalogue and see if they have fixed the problem.
Company response:
Thank you very much for your input. And yes, you are correct, the compression we used for the current catalogue's PDF format does strip out text included in the catalogue. We used the compression settings we did with the intention of minimising download time, however I take your point about including text for search purposes (which I also utilise when I'm scanning through PDFs).
We will actually be posting out our new catalogue next week and we'll release the new PDF version on the website at the same time. I've asked our graphic designer to ensure that the PDF we use for the new catalogue includes searchable text.

Always scrolling back to the search bar for pdf files in ibooks. Is there a way to fix this?

PDF Portfolio Search for keywords

Hello all,
I am trying to find out how you can search a pdf portfolio for keywords that I have added into pdf documents.
I have added the keywords through the document properties window.
It seems odd to be able to add keywords if you can't search for them - any help greatly appreciated
Thanks
Matt

Thanks, what a bummer . I was hoping for a fix or a freeware solution :P.
Is there a way to notify Apple about this? Keywords seem poorly designed, or at least not thought through, compared to other programs.

I have Adobe Reader XI with the package that allows me to send pdfs and convert pdfs to Word. When I open a pdf and try to search the search shows no matches even though the word I am searching for is in the document. Any suggestions how to search?

Once again, my thanks for your assistance. If I may impose on your generosity one more time, if I understand you correctly if I create a document on Word or WordPerfect, print it and scan it to create a pdf, the search function will not work. But, if I create the pdf document in Word the search function will work. Unfortunately, I am not sure how I create a pdf document in Word other than by printing it and scanning it. Could you please explain.
