Search in a PDF document

The PDFViewerApp includes the capability to search for a word or phrase within an open PDF document during preview mode or runtime. Users invoke the search utility by selecting the Find control above the open document or using the Ctrl + F keyboard shortcut.

A search field appears to type the search item after selecting Find.

If the PDF document includes the word or search phrase, the view shifts to the first page containing the search item and highlights the matching word or phrase on the page. Users can select the Previous or Next search options to continue the search within the document backward or forward from the current displayed page.
