Search Text in PDF

pdfFiller helps you quickly spot the word or phrase you’re looking for in a document regardless of how often it appears or the length of the document. Use the Search tool to find a word or a phrase in the currently open document. To activate the Search tool, click the magnifier icon in the main toolbar or press CTRL+F on your keyboard.

Type the text you want to find in the search field. The counter will show you the number of the current search term and the total number of search terms found in the document.

For pdfFiller’s FAQs

Below is a list of the most common customer questions. If you can’t find an answer to your question, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us.

Is a PDF document searchable?

Generally, PDF files created from Microsoft Office Word and other documents are by their nature searchable as the source document contains text which is replicated in the PDF, but when creating a PDF from a scanned document and OCR process needs to be applied to recognize the characters within the image.

How do I convert a PDF to a searchable PDF for free?

To start, Click on Choose File to select your PDF file. Under Options, Choose the Language of the PDF document. Click on Start which will upload your file and start the OCR process. Start button becomes Download button when the process is finished. Click on Download to start downloading the resulting PDF to your device.

Why can't I search my PDF document?

Cause. It's possible that you don't have an “filter” in place for PDF documents. To explain, the Windows indexing service doesn't understand the PDF file format, so you need an filter, which is a helper for PDF files.
