    • We collect Confluence feedback from various sources, and we evaluate what we've collected when planning our product roadmap. To understand how this piece of feedback will be reviewed, see our Implementation of New Features Policy.

      NOTE: This suggestion is for Confluence Server. Using Confluence Cloud? See the corresponding suggestion.

      Problem Definition

      When you upload a PDF file in a Confluence page, then click on that when viewing the page. Confluence will preview that PDF. The CTRL/CMD+F shortcut key doesn't open the Find dialog to allow the user to search that PDF.

      Steps to replicate

      1. Access a page that contains a PDF attachment
      2. Preview the attachment
      3. Use the CTRL/CMD+F command

      Expected results

      The Find tool opens

      Actual results

      Nothing happens

      Suggested Solution

      Confluence PDF Preview should bind CTRL/CMD+F key shortcut to open the Find dialog.

      Workaround

      There are currently three workarounds:

      1. In your preferred browser, lookup the Find menu in your browser options and select it
      2. Download the attachment locally and search in it
      3. Issue the CTRL/CMD+F command before opening the attachment preview

            Even if this is added, it would still be some kind of workaround for us. 
            The built in search functionality in Edge isn't flawless. You need to go to the end of the document for it to find the searched strings and it lists the occurrences in the background page before searching the document.
