I have my Dropbox account connected to Acrobat for iOs. I have a series of folders within Dropbox. I would like to be able to search within the contents of the PDF in the folders. Is that possible with Reader for iOs?

Hi Kelly,

If we understand your query correctly, you are willing to search the pdf content within the folder itself?

You can search the pdf content using the Adobe Reader mobile application, but for that you need to open the pdf file first and then put the keyword in the search to find.

However, the functionality you are looking for or mentioned above is currently unavailable in the mobile app.

Use this form to request new features or suggest modifications to existing features- Feature Request/Bug Report Form 

Hope this answers your query.

Regards,

Akanchha
