[NFBCS] searching for text in PDF documents

[Chris Nestrud]

I'd save the contents as text and then search the text. Perhaps the
entire text is not being loaded into the Adobe Reader buffer.

If you have many pdf files it might be worth using a program that will
search across them. I've had good luck with File Locator Pro at
https://www.mythicsoft.com/.
