Title: Searching pdf files via web
Post by: solap9 on June 06, 2015, 04:20:25 AM

How via Google can I effective search just pdf files about a certain topic? I have tried "topic name.pdf", but the hits were also non pdf topics with this key words.

Thank you very much

Try using http://www.google.im/advanced_search for your search.  That screen will let you specify PDF as the file type for your search.

I tested this with Google.
Type your topic then a "+" mark, then "pdf"
Eg:- barack obama+pdf
Search result gives only pdf
