How to read and search a PDF in PDF Reader Pro

Before you begin

Save or import the PDF from a source you trust. Check that the download is complete, particularly when the file comes from a remote folder or a large email attachment.

Step by step

1. Open or import the PDF into PDF Reader Pro.
2. Choose a comfortable page-view mode and zoom level.
3. Use page navigation to move to a section you need.
4. Search for a distinctive word and check the surrounding page for context.

Check the result

Confirm the title and page count before working on the document. A similarly named older copy can look identical on the first page but contain different information later.

Limits and troubleshooting

If text search finds nothing, try selecting a word. A scanned image may have no searchable text even though you can read it visually. A damaged or incomplete file should be downloaded again before troubleshooting the reader.
