Find keywords in PDF documents

Find specific words or phrases across a PDF document and highlight every match. Search results support navigation between matching content across multiple pages. Text search is suitable when reviewers need to locate specific content within a document.

Search with case sensitivity

Locate content using multiple keywords in a single search. Related matches can be reviewed together to identify connections across document sections. Supports discovery of information that may be described using alternative terminology within a document.

Retrieve PDF text coordinates

Automate PDF text search workflows

Programmatic text search runs search operations through application logic and returns matching results. Search results can be processed as part of other document operations within the application. Suitable for workflows that need to trigger and process queries through application code.

Navigate search results quickly

Navigate between search matches using next and previous controls and jump directly to each occurrence. This helps reviewers follow results in context without manually locating matches. Use when reviewing multiple search results across large documents.
