Adobe Acrobat 7 Professional - Manual (Page 552)

Using advanced search options for multiple-document
searches
When you choose to search multiple PDF documents, three sets of additional search
criteria are available under Use These Additional Criteria. These options let you restrict
the results to those that match specified date criteria or that contain additional words in a
particular document property, including the author, title, subject, file name, keywords,
bookmarks, comments, image metadata, XMP metadata, object data, and indexed
structure tags.
You can search using just document characteristics, without entering a search
word. For example, you can search your local disk for all Adobe PDF documents that you
created after a certain date.
Searching multiple PDF documents provides additional search criteria.
To add document characteristics to the search criteria:
1. In the Search PDF window, in Advanced Search options, select a check box under Use
These Additional Criteria.
2. Specify a search criterion: Choose a document property from the first pop-up menu, and
then choose a value from the adjacent pop-up menu.
3. In the box, type the value of the criterion. If you choose Date Created or Date Modified in
step 2, you can also click the pop-up menu to select the date from an interactive pop-up
calendar.
4. If you want to add additional document characteristics to the search criteria, repeat steps 1-
3.
