I have some pretty big PDF documents in my DEVONthink database.
Is there a way I can search for specific terms in a limited section of the PDF? Say, between pages 200 and 210?
I can work around this by noting the pages I care about, searching globally and then scrolling back to the key section to find highlighted search terms, but it’s cumbersome.
Sorry but no, you can’t search in sections of a PDF. Development would have to assess the feasibility of such a feature.
Also, if there are chapters in the PDF, you may consider Tools > Split PDF > Into Chapters. You could then search in the specific chapters as individual PDFs.
Good thought about splitting the PDF. I’ll explore that. Thanks for the quick help, as always, Jim.

You’re welcome 
When I have PDFs over a certain size, I like to use the other option that DT provides, splitting them into individual pages. In addition to the 275-page PDF document, I end up with 275 PDFs that are grouped together. A search for a word or phrase will then collect the matching PDFs.
Interesting but definitely a valid approach
