How to get Ctrl-F to highlight all instances of a string on Google Chrome?
I find that when using Google Chrome to open a pdf, if I Ctrl-F for a string, it only highlights one instance at a time and you need to press the arrow key to go to the next word. I find this quite annoying as I often want to see all the instances highlighted. Is there a way to change this so that all instances are highlighted?

Although Chrome does that for web pages, it doesn't do that for PDF.
I have two suggestions:
1) Look for and evaluate PDF readers. When you have one that does that, you can tell Chrome to save the PDF to disk. Then you open it with your favorite PDF reader software.
2) Look for and evaluate PDF reader plug-ins for Chrome.

to search a PDF, you need Adobe Reader. Chrome will open a PDF, but they were made to work best in Reader, which has advanced search functions for them.

It really is hard if you insist on working exactly the way you like it rather than working with what you already have.
Given that, I see no way of doing what you want in Chrome primarily because it is a web browser. With Foxit Reader, a free alternative pdf editor, the Find utility has a setting that says "Highlight all text", which I believe is exactly what you are looking for.
