Symposium Proceedings & Abstracts

All available DTC Symposium proceedings documents are posted on this web site in the form of text-searchable PDFs, including both abstracts and full papers.

Because of the various platforms and the many versions of web browsers currently in use, there is no single method for using the text-searchable PDF feature to recommend. The precise method for searching these documents will depend on the specific hardware and software configuration on each computer or device.

Searching Using Adobe® Acrobat®

Under the Edit menu, click Advanced Search. Enter your search term in the search box and press the ‘Search’ button. In the left sidebar, Adobe® Acrobat® will return a list of matches to your search term with live links to the search term in the text of the document.

Searching Using a General Procedure

  1. Select a document and click to open it.
  2. Press Cmnd-F (Mac OS) or Ctrl-F (Windows) to activate a search box, which may be at the top or the bottom of the screen.
  3. Type a search term in the search box; press the search button or press either the ‘Enter’ or the ‘Return’ key.
  4. Use the arrows adjacent to the search box to make choices or to navigate through the highlighted search terms in the document.
