Default

For Word documents, try:
Code:
Sub CollateDocumentData()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Dim strFolder As String, strFile As String, strDocNm As String, strTmp As String, strOut As String
Dim wdDoc As Document, i As Long: Const StrFnd As String = "storage,dry,spent,ISFSI,fuel"
strDocNm = ActiveDocument.FullName
strFolder = GetFolder: If strFolder = "" Then Exit Sub
strFile = Dir(strFolder & "\*.doc", vbNormal)
While strFile <> ""
  If strFolder & "\" & strFile <> strDocNm Then
    Set wdDoc = Documents.Open(FileName:=strFolder & "\" & strFile, AddToRecentFiles:=False, Visible:=False)
    strTmp = ""
    With wdDoc
      With .Range.Find
        .ClearFormatting
        .Replacement.ClearFormatting
        .Replacement.Text = ""
        .Forward = True
        .Wrap = wdFindContinue
        .MatchCase = False
        .MatchWholeWord = True
        .MatchWildcards = False
        .MatchSoundsLike = False
        .MatchAllWordForms = False
        For i = 0 To UBound(Split(StrFnd, ","))
          .Text = Split(StrFnd, ",")(i)
          .Execute
          If .Found = True Then strTmp = strTmp & ", " & Split(StrFnd, ",")(i)
        Next
      End With
      If strTmp <> "" Then strOut = strOut & vbCr & strFile & ": " & strTmp
      .Close SaveChanges:=True
    End With
  End If
  strFile = Dir()
Wend
Set wdDoc = Nothing
ActiveDocument.Range.Text = "The following matches were made:" & strOut
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

Function GetFolder() As String
Dim oFolder As Object
GetFolder = ""
Set oFolder = CreateObject("Shell.Application").BrowseForFolder(0, "Choose a folder", 0)
If (Not oFolder Is Nothing) Then GetFolder = oFolder.Items.Item.Path
Set oFolder = Nothing
End Function
To do the same for pdfs, you could change:
strFile = Dir(strFolder & "\*.doc", vbNormal)
to:
strFile = Dir(strFolder & "\*.pdf", vbNormal)
