You can search multiple PDFs in one folder using many PDF readers,
including Acrobat Reader. The usual keyboard shortcut is CTRL+SHIFT+F.
You can select to find all instances of a term in the current PDF or in
all PDFs in a specific folder.
In order to search multiple PDFs for several terms at once, you need to
add the OR operator in between the terms. I tried this in my old version
of Adobe Acrobat Pro and it did not work. But when I tried it in a free
PDF reader called PDF-XChange Viewer it worked. I searched for:
Get_Mode OR Get_Rev OR "indicates the current revision"
The last term had to be in parenthesis in order to find a term with
several words together.
Here's the link to PDF-XChange Viewer:

Another option is to use Agent Ransack (free). It's a fast search tool
that can search inside of PDF files (and FM files).

If you work for a Global company, you may be aware of China's Patent &
Advertising laws. There are certain terms that are blacklisted, and violations can
result in fines and even sanctions against companies.
Is anyone aware of a tool that would allow you to search multiple PDFs and
compare against a list of terms and flag instances?
We want to look at our published PDF files, hundreds of them, and some of which
are quite old, and see if we can find anything that is a potential violation .
Unfortunately, most of these files weren't created in XML/CMS, but in Frame,
InDesign, and even other apps, so searching source files isn't the best option.
