[Framers] Searching multiple PDFs for blacklisted terms

[Shmuel Wolfson]

You can search multiple PDFs in one folder using many PDF readers, 
including Acrobat Reader. The usual keyboard shortcut is CTRL+SHIFT+F. 
You can select to find all instances of a term in the current PDF or in 
all PDFs in a specific folder.

In order to search multiple PDFs for several terms at once, you need to 
add the OR operator in between the terms. I tried this in my old version 
of Adobe Acrobat Pro and it did not work. But when I tried it in a free 
PDF reader called PDF-XChange Viewer it worked. I searched for:
Get_Mode OR Get_Rev OR "indicates the current revision"

The last term had to be in parenthesis in order to find a term with 
several words together.

Here's the link to PDF-XChange Viewer:

Another option is to use Agent Ransack (free). It's a fast search tool 
that can search inside of PDF files (and FM files).

Unfortunately, most of these files weren't created in XML/CMS, but in Frame, InDesign, and even other apps, so searching source files isn't the best option.
