Hi @omkarb26011,

Dataverse search can be used to search through documents as well such as pdfs. Make sure you set the File column holding the pdfs as searchable, add it to the Quick Find view of the table, and then ensure the table is enabled for search.

Unfortunately it seems that it's currently not possible to search the File field - see my post here:

@ChrisPiasecki, have you actually been successful in getting this to work?
