Michael Crane Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 I have a folder named 'Bibafaxes' and it contains 85 pdf booklets of varying page length. I have tried to search it for a particular word but to no avail. Thinking that the word might not be in the folder I searched for one that I knew was in there . . . again, to no avail.I have added the folder to my Library but I stll cannot search it!What is wrong? My search word exists in other folders and I have no trouble finding it in them - but the pdf I am searching for is one of the pdf docs in the Bibafax folder.

Boris Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 AFAIK if they are PDf files you can only use Windows search on words in the title of the PDF rather than their actual content.You have to open each PDF individually to search for the words inside it.
