Is the search case-sensitive?

No, searches match regardless of capitalization by default, so you don't need to know the exact casing used in the document.

Can I search for a phrase, not just a single word?

Yes, multi-word phrases are matched as-is, the same way you'd search in any text search box.

Does it search scanned pages too?

Only if the PDF has a text layer — scanned image-only pages need OCR first before they contain searchable text.

Does Search PDF upload my files to a server?

No. Search PDF runs entirely in your browser using on-device processing, your files never leave your device.

About this tool

Scrolling through a long PDF looking for one specific term — a clause number, a name, a figure — is slow once a document runs past a few dozen pages, and standard PDF viewers on some devices don't make full-text search easy to reach. This tool searches every page of a PDF for a term you enter and jumps you straight to each match, so finding what you need in a long contract, report or manual takes seconds instead of a manual page-by-page scan.
