Hi guys

I need your help as i have a folder which contains thousands of PDFs files and i want to search only those PDFs with some common words or phrase inside the PDFs. I tried to search in "All Files And Folder Options" but it does not search PDF.
I also tried with the advance options in adobe reader but it takes search at a very slow speed and dont give option to copy the search files.

So can anyone help me in this technical issue ?

    Have you tried the advanced search options in Adobe Reader ? It offers the option to switch from searching the current document to searching all pdfs in a folder on the hard drive.

    Hope that helps!

    Built-in support for search (in Adobe or any other PDF viewer) is your best bet.
    You can build a custom search, but you might risk actually a slower performance than the original one.

    Have you tried Windows Index + Search? Maybe that can do it.
