search for signed pdf files

Post by Corvus71 »

Hi,

Is it somehow possible to search for signed pdf documents?
Meaning a document signed by using the function "sign document by typing or drawing signature"
Or is that not possible since everything cannot scan inside documents?

Not possible with Everything sorry.


Searching for pdf files that have been modified might be useful:

*.pdf dm:!=dc:

Index Date Created for the best performance under Tools -> Options -> Indexes -> Index Date Created.



To search file content, please try the content: search function.

For example, to search for the content "To be or not to be" in PDF files, modified this year, search for:
ext:pdf dm:thisyear content:"To be or not to be"

Note: File content is not indexed. Searching file content will be very slow.
For the best performance, combine the content: search with other search filters.

Please try the Advanced Search under the search menu and set the "A word or phrase in the file" field.
For the best performance, set as many fields in the Advanced Search as possible.
