It is a tale,
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

No idea if this is the right place for this question, but I can't find any kind of "Random Questions Mega-Thread" like there are in other sub-forums. If there's a better place, let me know and I'll move this there...

Scenario: I have a folder containing quite a few pdf files (of commercial invoices). I would like to find specific ones of these pdfs and copy them into a new file.

The files are named after the tracking numbers under which they were shipped.

I have a couple of ways of identifying the files I want copied:

- I have the tracking numbers of those I want copied. However, I have to copy about 300 out of literally thousands. That's a ton of manual process to find/copy/paste into new folder.

- I also can use the Adobe Search to look inside the pdfs for the unique account number for these 300. I've done that (mostly) successfully, but I don't see any way of copying the results of that, so I end up back at square one of doing them manually.
