Did you enable "Prefer Xpdf for PDF documents" in the First Aid / manage third party importers window (that can be opened by pressing the command and option keys when launching FoxTrot)?
If so, Xpdf seems to always return a single space as content instead of an empty string.
However, searching for:
[all items of type] [PDF]
[then apply advanced filter] [contents] [is exactly the string] [] [ ] <- type a space here!
does not work either (it will be fixed in version 7.1)
But the following should actually work in 7.0.4:
[all items of type] [PDF]
[then apply advanced filter] [contents] [is exactly the string] [ignore blanks] []
Also, the modified regular expression to work around the bug in 7.0.4 should also work:
[all items of type] [PDF]
[then apply advanced filter] [contents] [contains the regular expression] [". also applies to newlines"] [^ \x00*$] <- don't miss the space between ^ and \
