Are you an iPhone user? Do you want to learn how to search through a PDF document on your device? You’ve come to the right place. In this blog post, we will walk you through the steps of searching on PDF on your iPhone in no time.

The first step is to open the PDF document you want to search for. You can do this by tapping on its icon or thumbnail image in the Files app or in another app (like Mail) that supports viewing PDFs. After opening the document, you should see a search field at the top of the screen. Tap on it and enter all or part of the word or phrase you are looking for.

Once you have entered your search query, any matches will appear highlighted in yellow and listed in order from top to bottom in the left-hand panel of your iPhone’s screen. To view a specific match, simply tap on it and it will be highlighted in blue and displayed at the top of your screen for easy viewing.

If you don’t find what you are looking for with a single search query, try searching for different words or phrases related to what you are looking for. For example, if searching for “rain” doesn’t yield any results, try searching for “precipitation” instead.

It is also possible to view only shared or recently edited documents when searching through a PDF document on your iPhone. To do this, tap Recents at the bottom of the screen and then select either Shared Documents or Recently Edited Documents from the menu that appears. This will help narrow down your results so that only those relevant documents appear when searching through your files.

We hope that this blog post has been helpful in teaching you how to search through a PDF document on your iPhone! Now get out there and start exploring those PDF documents!
