PDF Reader
The PDF SDK Pro
Reader module supports loading of PDF files to a data structure and
renders the PDF pages. The PDF Reader supports Adobe PDF version 1.4
format (and previous versions) and it enables text search on a page
or on the whole document. One can get objects from the pages (for
example images and texts).
PDF Text Search
The PDF Reader Pro
supports text search in a PDF file. It supports searching in both
directions (forward of backward), and one can add case sensitivity
and/or whole word searching. One can search in a page or in the
whole PDF document. One can get the 1-based index of the page where
the word or expression has been found and the region (HRGN) that
covers the found text, so it would allow the user to visually
display the found text in display. The search can be continued from
the last found word. After a search, one can get the text of the
page where the searched text was found, so for example one can check
the nearby area of the found text. (Note: the order of the words in
the text will follow the actual position of the words in the PDF
file, not necessarily the seen location on the display, so in the
case of certain PDF files, the returned text might not be the same
as what one would expect.)

-
PDF version 1.4 format (and previous versions) objects
