Searching reviewed PDF's for keywords

In the Workfront management system, is it possible to search past reviewed proofs for keywords within the PDF rather than by a comment?

If you want to search proof comments, you could do a Note report with a filter for contains 'proof comment' since all proof comments are actually Notes and always start with 'proof comment' (and add other necessary filters in addition to this). If you're wanting to search content within the proof itself, I don't think there's a way to do this as WF sees the proof as a static document and it's not searchable in reports.

If you are trying to search the content of the PDF I agree with @madalyn_destafney that this is not possible within Workfront
