PDF Converter Professional offers several ways to perform full text
searches on PDF files:
A folder search lets you search
one folder (with or without sub-folders) and lets you limit the search
according to values in standard fields (author, title, subject, keywords,
etc.) of the PDF Properties. See Selecting Search Options.
An index search gives greater
speed because it uses a pre-built index.
It also gives more flexibility; letting you widen the search by defining
a set of search folders and sub-folders and letting you narrow the search,
using not only standard PDF Property fields, but also custom
defined fields with values you define.
For any of the above, specify commonly used search criteria such as
Match Case, Match whole word only. In addition, specify whether to include
comments and bookmarks.
Logical Operators
When performing searches in multiple documents, you may enter the following
logical operators to refine your search:
And: "&"
Or: "|".
Not: "~".
Parentheses: "(", ")".
Use parentheses to define the order in which Boolean operators are performed.
For more information, and diagrams showing the effects of these operators
see Searching with Boolean
Operators.
For simple searches, use the Find dialog
box. For more complicated searching, use the Search
dialog box. This lets you narrow the search by adding more criteria.
