[Year 12 SofDev] Question Re SAT need/opportunity

[Mary Ho]

Hi Mark

Not to search through a folder to find the relevant pdf to display.  The
client tests to ensure equipment meets standards, so he has a whole lot of
standards pdf documents that he stores in physical folders and on his
computer.  The student has been asked to create a program to search for pdf
files and then display it on screen.
