Thanks for your feedback. We will optimize it in the following videos
Is there a way to search a pdf by keyword that will only show results for a particular chapter? In other words, if I have an open book/open note exam, and there is a particular word that is part of a test question, how do I go about limiting the results to one chapter, instead of getting 100 results that will come from a whole PDF book? Takes too much time to scroll through 100 plus results, however, if a given chapter only has 7 references to that term, then I'll be much better off if I can find that term from one or two chapters.

What do your mean about "multiple search ..."? Could you explain more?
What if I want to replace the words with nothing not even space, just delete them, there is an option?

We appreciate you taking the time to ask your question. If you are using PDFelement Windows, please go to "Home' tab > choose "Search" > click "Search & Replace" option > enter the word you would like to delete > enter a space at the "Repalce with" box > confirm "Replace" or "Repalce all", the selected words will be deleted.
Great video! But I can't figure out how to search for exact words without the results showing the word with a prefix or suffix. For example, I search for "form" and the results show "perform," "formed," etc. I only want "form"

Thank you so much for your support! If you're using the Windows system, you can follow these steps: Click on the Search feature under the Home ribbon tab, check 'Whole words only' in normal search, and you're good to go! You can also explore more search settings by choosing Advanced search.

@@PDFelement Thank you. While looking for the whole word only feature, I saw videos saying you could export highlighted text on a PDF into a Word document. The videos that I tried didn’t work. If there is a way to export text that a user highlights in a PDF into a Word document, could you please make a video on that?
