Searching PDF attributes and date values

Each PDF file has a set of common attributes, like author, creator, title, subject, producer etc.  Using Easy PDF Search, you can easily search for PDF files with attributes matching one or more values.

If you want to see which of your PDF files contain attributes, just enter a wildcard search value and select the attributes you’re interested to see.

Easy PDF Search will then return all files containing values for the attribute types you selected.

You can also search on the PDF creation and modification date.  All dates are stored in the format |year|month|date|hour|minute|second

For e.g. July 27, 2010 9:30 PM will be stored as 20100727093000

To search for files created or modified on a specific date, we enter the date elements and use a wildcard for the time elements.  For e.g. to search for files created on March 23, 2009, we would enter the following:

Easy PDF Search will then return all files created on that date, regardless of the time value.
