How to search pattern "\aaaaa" in all pdf files?

Post by mattad »

I would like to search for a (simplified) pattern "\aaaaa" (without quotes but with leading slash) in all my PDF docs on my partition.

Although there are at least 2 of them PDF XChange Viewer does not find them.

Why?

I guess the leading slash is interpreted as a part of an regexp.

How can I find the pattern otherwise?

Hello mattad,

The Viewer is a very old product, and has been discontinued for several years. Please try using it's successor - the Editor instead, and use it's advanced search - which should manage much better.

Kind regards,
Stefan
