Extract the text in a format that VFP can read. There are a few tools for that, either commercial or open source. My preferred is the pdf2xml utility in https://sourceforge.net/projects/pdf2xml/.

After transforming the PDFs in something that VFP can read, plain text, XML, or whatever, you can manipulate the documents at your will. The simplest method would be to ingest documents contents into a table memo field and search inside it.
