How to Google PDF Files
- 1). Launch your Web browser and go to the Google website.
- 2). Type your search terms into the search box on the Google home page. Enter keywords that will return documents for the relevant subject area. For example, if you're looking for the PDF of a specific book, enter the complete title of the book and place quotation marks around the title so that the search will return only these results. If you want to choose from a range of documents, enter words relevant to the subject matter.
- 3). Type "filetype:pdf" after the final search term in the search box. This instructs Google to return only PDF documents in its search.
- 4). Click the "Search" button.
- 5). Read through the results. You can view each result as a PDF by clicking the link or as a Web page by clicking "View as HTML" under each result.
