Searching a PDF

[Betsy.jiang]

Hi Mark,

Thanks for waiting.
Now the new feature has been implemented in Spire.Office Platinum (DLL Only) Version:2.16.23.
Sample code for your reference:

Code: Select all

PdfDocumentViewer.SearchText(string searchText, Color highlightColor, bool ignoreCase)

Looking forward to your feedback.

Sincerely,

PdfDocumentViewer.SearchText() appears to always search from the beginning of the document. Is there any way to specify where to start searaching?

Thanks,

I am implementing the search as
this.pdfViewer.SearchText("<text to be searched", Color.Red,true);

but the result is "covering" the search area .... I am using an evaluation copy is this the problem?

Hello,
I recon that there is no way to jump to page where first search results is? Or get access to some SearchResult collection so that I could jump to a page where the result is highlighted and then jump to next result's page in that collection?

Hello vmk_devnet,

Thanks for your inquiry.
Our Spire.PdfViewer does not support the jump function at present. I tried to achieve the similar effect by combining with our Spire.PDF. But I encountered some issues when doing the tests, I will do more investigations, once the demo is available, I will provide it for your reference.

Hello vmk_devnet,

Thanks for your patience.
Because our latest Spire.PDF Pack(Hot Fix) Version:8.11.0 made some adjustments for the searching function. At present we are unable to achieve the similar effect when combining with it. Anyway, we have added the searching jump function as a new feature into the upgrade list of Spire.PDFViewer. Once it is available, we will let you know asap. Thanks for your understanding.
