I downloaded this document to my Android device: https://www.postgresql.org/files/documentation/pdf/13/postgresql-13-A4.pdf

The problem is that I don't see a search function when this document is opened in Acrobat for Samsung.

I can search text in this document on my desktop computer in Google Chrome.

Why the search is not available in the Android application?

OK, I reinstalled it from Google Play. Now the Liquid mode is visible. On the Welcome document it works. On the topic document it is disabled. When I tap it, I get the message "Liquid Mode isn't yet available for files over 200 pages".


Yes, it seems to be a work in progress still. I assume because this particular feature is resource-intensive for the mobile device(s) and caching the viewed document to the Document Cloud.

 

But hey, in my opinion , at least is  just a little better than the the regular Reader Mode. Hopefully Adobe will continue to improve this app.

 

I know this guidance didn't resolve what you were asking for, but we learned something new today.

The search function is available in Acrobat Reader for Android.

Yes, this function is available on some searchable documents. The document above is searchable, but the search function is not available for this document in Acrobat Reader for Android.

So, let me clarify my question. Why the search function is not available on this particular searchable document shown above?

When I open the document in Acrobat Reader I can see and use the search function.
