One feature we all use at one time or another is the dependable Search function. Acrobat 7 offers two ways to do a searcheither through a Find toolbar or using the Search pane.
Widening Your Search
If you need to expand the search to additional documents or want to use more complex search terms, select Open Full Acrobat Search from the pull-down menu. |
New in Acrobat 7 is the Find toolbar (Figure 10). Use it to quickly search an open document. To access the toolbar, use the Ctrl+F/Command+F shortcut keys; choose View > Toolbars > Find; or choose Edit > Find.

Type in the field the word or phrase you want to search for, and then click Find Next to show the first match on the visible page. Each time you click the button, the next match is highlighted in the document. Use the Find Next or Find Previous button to move back and forth among matches. Here are some hints for using the Find toolbar: The hits include hyphenated returnsfor example a search for the term "book-mark" is returned as a hit for the term "bookmark." Use the scroll bars or the navigation controls at the bottom of the Document pane to move to another location in a document. When you click the Previous or Next button on the Find toolbar, the search starts at the visible page. Click the pull-down arrow next to the Find label to open a menu that allows you to choose search parameters. For example, if you are looking for a term such as Bookmarks, if you choose the case sensitive option, only those matches using the same capitalization are identified. Click to select any combination of the search criteria from the pull-down menu.
