Search one instance at a time

Adobe search provides a convenient tool for finding information in this User Guide. You have several options for using the search tool: searching for items that match your search term one at a time, or displaying a list of all matching items.

9.These instructions are for the full versions of these apps available for your computer, not for the Adobe Reader app installed on your HP TouchPad. If you have a different version of Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat, click Help in the application menu bar for instructions on using search.

TIP To find out what version of Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat you have, click Help in the application menu bar and look for the option About Adobe Reader x or About Acrobat x. The x represents the version number.

Whole Words Only: By default, the search tool returns any words that contain your search term, even if the term is part of a longer word—for example, searching on app returns application also.
