I am wondering if there is a way to search multiple pdfs on a web page. I AM NOT asking how to search multiple PDFs on my computer as I know how to do this already with Acrobat. Is there a way to get Acrobat to do this or does it require another app? If it requires another app, please give me some suggestions for one that can be used on a Mac. Thank you.

    Hi @werdiam 

     

    Hope you are doing well and thanks for reaching out.

     

    The option to search pdfs on web is not yet available in Acrobat. You may share your request with the product team using the link https://www.adobe.com/products/wishform.html

     

    Searching for PDFs on the web is similar to searching for any other type of content. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to search for PDF files on the web:

     

    1. Use a search engine like Google.
    2. Enter specific keywords.
    3. Add "filetype:pdf" to your query to filter results.
    4. Explore the search results.
    5. Utilize advanced search operators if needed.
    6. Consider specialized search engines like Google Scholar, PDF Search Engine.

     

    Hope this information will help.
