How to search in PDF

When we work with files, PDF is one of the most used programs and one of the best valued by users, since it offers great features for both use and storage, which is why it is very popular in the day-to-day life of many people since we can also edit a PDF without programs..

 

 

PDF files provide us with a wide range of alternatives to be worked on and we normally find large amounts of information in them. In these cases it usually happens that it is necessary to search for some type of word in the PDF sheets and in order to avoid having to do this process manually (line by line), TechnoWikis will explain how to search in PDF both from the browser and from the Adobe app. .
