Searching across multiple Adobe PDF documents

You can use the Search PDF window to find words in Adobe PDF files stored in a specific 
location on your hard disk or network, in prepared Adobe PDF index files, and in Adobe 
PDF files on the Internet.

Note: To search for words in multiple Adobe PDF documents, Adobe PDF indexes, or 
Adobe PDF files on the Internet, open the Adobe Reader application from your desktop 
rather than within your web browser window.
