Pattern Report

Finds what matters - fast.
Searches and summarizes recurring text in PDFs.

When working with large PDF documents, it’s hard to find specific patterns or details quickly.

Pattern Report scans your PDFs for multiple patterns at once - like codes, labels, or keywords - and shows you exactly where they appear.

It reports each match with its location and gives you a clean page-by-page summary, making review faster, easier and accurate.
