Search function within pdf's


Recommended Posts

I can't not figure out how to search within a pdf.  I use the application to organize large pdf's that I use for reference points daily.  Some pdf's are 300 pages and  need a search  button that gets me to the info I need quickly. Is there something I'm over looking. Cause I can't find it anywhere.    I am using the most up-to-date android app

If you open the PDF in a PDF reader app you should be able to invoke a Find function.  Can't do it from within EN.  EN will find PDFs containing the term but will not show where the term is within the PDF.

See here for the answer on desktop. I have no idea whether it translates to Android.

On iOS EN v10 10.9 I simply open the pdf. On the top right there is a magnifier glass. When I click it, a search field opens. The term typed into is searched, even with counting and highlighting the search hits inside of the pdf.

The mobile clients should be close twins since v10.
