To quickly find text you are looking for, select the Find Field
on the menu bar. Click the Filter icon beside the Find box to set the search
criteria.
To do the advanced searching, click Advanced Search command next to the Find
box, and select Advanced Search. You can search for a string or pattern in a single
PDF file, multiple PDF files under a specified folder, all PDF files that are currently
opened in the application, PDFs in a PDF portfolio, or a PDF index. When the search
finishes, all occurrences will be listed in a tree view. This will allow you to quickly
preview the context and jump to specific locations. You can also save the search
results as a CSV or PDF file for further reference.
To search and highlight text in a specified color, choose Comment > Search &
Highlight, or click the Advanced Search command next to the Find box and
select Search & Highlight. Search the text strings or patterns as needed in the Search
panel. When the search completes, check the instances that you want to highlight, and
click the Highlight icon . By default, the search instances will be highlighted in
yellow. If you need to change the highlight color, change it from the appearance
properties of the Highlight Text tool and set the properties as default. The color will
be applied when you perform a new search & highlight.
Work on 3D content in PDFs
Foxit PDF Reader lets you view, navigate, measure, and comment on 3D content in PDF
documents. The Model Tree, the 3D toolbar, and the right-click menu of 3D content can
help you work on 3D content easily. You can show/hide parts of a 3D model, set different
visual effects, rotate/spin/pan/zoom a 3D model, create and manage 3D views with
different settings, add comments/measurements to a part of a 3D model, and more.
When you open a 3D PDF and enable the 3D model, the 3D toolbar appears above the
upper-left corner of the 3D canvas (an area where the 3D model appears). In the lower-left
corner of the canvas shows the 3D axes (X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis) that indicate the current
orientation of the 3D model in the scene.
Note: If the 3D model is not enabled (or activated)
after you open the PDF, only a 2D preview image of the 3D model is displayed in the canvas.
Tip: For most 3D-related tools and options, you can find them from the context menu after
right-clicking the 3D model.
