saving search results to a file

I have a large document with several hundred account numbers in it. When I do a search for one of those account numbers I would like to save the results of those pages to a file. The pages are not always consecutive. Is there any easy way for those results to be saved so that I can mail the different account numbers to responsible members of my department.

Thanks

Joyce

Unfortunately, you can't save search results in Acrobat. You can create a search index that will report results back to you in lighting speed.
