When using
Adobe Acrobat Reader, the Search (Shift+Ctrl+F) feature extends the Find functionality by letting you choose between searching the current document and searching all PDF documents in a specified directory, for example all PGI manuals. In addition, the Search feature automatically saves settings for each search separately enabling quick recall.
