Use your preferred native OS bash (grep) or cmd console (find)

I had to download a known Adobe sample file https://github.com/adobe/pdf-embed-api-samples/tree/master/More%20Samples/Linearization because none of my hundreds of test PDF downloads was designed to be served via web.

Here is the Windows version.

for /r %f in (*.pdf) do @type "%f" | find "/Linearized">nul && echo Found web view in "%f"

Result

Found web view in "C:\Users\WDAGUtilityAccount\Downloads\Bodea Brochure - linear copy.pdf"

Using a larger set of PDFs I got a return listing, including duplicates, of 335 from 2432 PDFs thus under 15% in that case.
