Hello,
I don't have/use Acrobat, but I have lots of pdf files that I have collected.
Many of them are books, History etc, that I would like to search.
Rather than searching individualy, I'm wondering if there is a Search tool (shareware or something) that will search all of the files at once ?

I'm sure there is; so my questions are these;
1) what is a good one, (good = simple yet robust, easy to set up maintain....)
2) are there any that will do text and text as image, OCR
3) needs to work across many vintages of pdf files

I'm on Vista, and use Reader v10

Right, I've seen this mentioned before.
Not sure that it will do a OCR type search though ...

Any other options ?
