PDF Search Tips


Each PDF section is searchable in Acrobat Reader.

  1. In Acrobat Reader, click the Search button (see the binocular icon).
  2. In the Search window, below Where would you like to search? confirm that In the current PDF document is selected.
  3. In most cases, leave the other options unselected.
  4. Click Search.

You may search by Department name where appropriate, e.g., Department Listings, Faculty & Staff Listings and HSC Listings.

You may search by name in all sections, i.e., Department Listings, Faculty & Staff Listings, and HSC Listings.

In most cases, you will need to search name by lastname, firstname.

No search results will return if you search firstname, lastname, however, if no results are returned for a lastname, firstname search, try a firstname, lastname search.
