PDF articles are optional electronic threads defined by the PDF author, which lead readers
through the PDF contents presented in multiple columns and across a series of pages. If
you are reading a PDF file that contains articles, you can choose View > View Setting >
Navigation Panels > Articles to open the Articles panel and view the articles. In the
Articles panel, select an article, and choose Read Article from the context menu or
Options list to read the selected article.
Search in PDFs
Foxit PDF Reader allows you to run searches to easily find text in PDF files. You can go to
File > Preferences > Search to specify search preferences.
 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.
