Can I search the content of PDF files?
Answer / Solution
Yes. UltraSearch uses the so-called IFilter interface for full text search, which is provided by the operating system. To search PDF files, you need a filter for this file type, which is provided by Adobe, for example.
Many file formats, are already handled by the operating system's own routines.
