PDF Text Search

See every match with context — search any PDF by text, right from your toolbar. Free, private, no account required.

PDF Text Search by Sparks Simple lets you search the full text of any PDF and see all your results at once — not one at a time like Ctrl+F. HOW IT WORKS • Upload a PDF from your computer, or paste a URL • Type a search term • See every match listed with surrounding context so you can decide which result is the one you need • Click any result to jump directly to that page in the viewer WHY IT'S DIFFERENT FROM CTRL+F Ctrl+F jumps you through results one at a time. This extension shows you all matches together with the words around them — useful when you're scanning a long legal document, contract, HR policy, or research paper to find the right occurrence fast. WORKS FROM A URL Paste a link to any publicly accessible PDF and search it without downloading the file first. Useful when you're deciding whether a document is even worth opening. PRIVACY Everything runs in your browser. Your PDF is never uploaded to any server. By Sparks Simple — sparkssimple.com
