I was recently given the challenge to find a way to find text in a pdf file from out side the pdf viewer.
For example, there is a framed web page, on the left is a list of "bookmarks" which are all links from an html page.
The right frame is loaded with an PDF file. My employer wishs to be able to click on the link let it be a text link with '6' as the text. When he clicks on it a find operation is initiated in the pdf file. If '6' is found in the pdf file it will be highlighted.
Is there anyway to pass the pdf file a command to search for this? If you need anymore information please let me know. Thanks a bunch!! I hope this helped! ;-)
