I have thousands of PDF documents on my laptop's harddrive. When I search for information on these files, I do not want want to open all of the documents in order to search for the information I require.
What software can I use which can index my PDF documents and which will be able to choose only the relevant files based on the search criteria I enter?
Please advise me
