Search for PDF Documents with the Fastest PDF IFilter on the Market

Say you’ve got lots of PDF documents. Like, Library-of-Congress lots. And within some of those PDF documents somewhere is precious information you’re searching for. It could be the key details for closing your next big deal. Or the evidence that supports your argument in a litigation case. Or the secret ingredient in your friend’s grandmother’s prize-winning chili recipe.

What can you do to speed up the process for searching through all those PDF files? You can use a PDF IFilter.

Why PDF IFilter?

A PDF IFilter is really a plug-in that lets Microsoft search engines index PDF files so that you can search them for that precious chili ingredient. Without an appropriate PDF IFilter, you can’t index the contents of a PDF file, which means you can’t search it.   This is especially valuable since PDF is the most commonly used file format to archive documents and forms.

Also, PDF IFilters are very useful since they’re integrated into Microsoft search, so they provide search results for multiple file formats at the same time.  Which means, if the evidence that supports the closing of your next big deal is located in different file formats (like .doc, .docx, .xls, .ppt, etc.), you can get all these files returned in a single search.

Why Foxit PDF IFilter?

This gives you more accurate search results.
