PDF Search Utility
I have over a hundred PDF files. Is there a freeware utility that would enable me to search all of them at once for given keywords?

What OS? In Mac OS 10.4, the built in Spotlight searches PDFs.

Good question. I am running W98. I also would be interested in a similar utility for Linux, to which I will be moving.

Google desktop search can search pdf files.

Marjolein:
I have never tried Google desktop since from the descriptions I've never found anything it can do that Windows can't do already I've heard that Google Dektop searches function a lot better than Windows Search, which is no surprise at all, but I've never tried it, as I seldom search for anything (except for files that I can't remember or even imagine where Windows XP has put them). __________________ Michael |
