Hello (me again lol) prior to 2.2 Software upgrade I recall that when viewing a pdf document I could search for certain keywords; now I cant figure out how.
First off, again I'm using 2.2 Software on Verizon' HTC Incredible.
Next up when viewing a pdf I believe its using Adobe Reader. I have a few options but one thing I cannot find is "search" or even 'go to" (page number)
I believe Quck Office doesnt pull up any PDFs so I'm wondering if anyone has figured out how to search for keywords; thanks
If you are using the Quick Office Application or the PDF Viewer, make sure both applications are updated to the newest versions.
You can do that by going to the Android Market Place on the device, then press menu and download, then you can see applications that can be updated.
To check for updates while using Quick Office, press the Menu button, then select Updates. Quickoffice will automatically check for updates to your software.
You can search for text strings in your document using Quickword. Switch to Reflow View, then press the Menu button, and tap Search. A text entry field will appear at the top of your document. Enter the text you wish to search for and tap the search icon to the right of the text field. Quickword will highlight all instances of the text you are searching for.

Since the above statement is about using Quick Office; I have to say that my cell phone doesnt allow me to upgrade or patch up.
And when I launch it, it brings up a list of files for me to open. Marketplace says only "buy me" but I dont find a way to update the app on my cell.
What about the app Adobe Reader?
If you are viewing files that are large and contain image only files and no text files the search option would not function.
So for example the HTC Incredible Users Manual; probably because its too big is the reason I do not have a search option?
Larger files are often image files.
