PDF Search inside a confluence page exists?!

Question

Hello,

from a confluence page,

when I attach a pdf file and open it in any browsers

the document is displayed correctly.

The problem is that there's no search function (or even the popular shortcut command CTRL+F) does not exist.

Thanks already

Cheers

I cannot search a PDF previewed in browser aswell which makes our usecase laborious (tested chrome and firefox). It is quite awkward to find something via confluence search within a pdf > but then having to preview it > then download it (or open in new tab) to > search within the document (again).

Also trying to search while viewing an attached PDF document. Ctrl+F does not work, at least not in Google Chrome, and there is no magnifier class to click on. Having to download is a bit stupid, don't you think?

Not working for me on MacOS.  Not in either Firefox or Chrome.  Any help?

If there were any way to access this functionality besides a keystroke, I could at least confirm whether the feature is missing, or whether I am just having difficulty accessing it.

Just checked: not working in Windows either. Did something change?
