I am frequently reviewing 200+ page documents, many of which contain boilerplate language, so there are 4-5 sections that are important for me to ensure the document contains them. It would be so much easier if I could search the .pdf, rather than scrolling through all of the pages. Does anyone know of a way to make this happen or an another way to search a document for specific text before I sign it? Thanks!

This will download the PDF on another browser window and the ability to search within your browser will be enabled for the PDFs in progress.

Will can then return to your DocuSign active window to sign.

Well, that did allow me to search some of the sections, but not all. I’m guessing it depends on the format the document is uploaded in or something. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t. Thanks for the help, though, it’s a start!
