Subject: Problems with text search
Date Posted: 17 Nov 14 at 8:00AM

During my tests, I see that with the CTRL+F keyboard shortcut the search integrated goes well,
but if I call "manually" the methods listed above I've a problem with these functions:

- bool SearchPDFText(String SearchText)
Starts search for specified text in current PDF Document and selects first result.
Returns FALSE if the search failed.

- void NextSearchResult(void)
Navigates to next result of successful text search using SearchPDFText.

- void PrevSearchResult(void)
Navigates to previous result of successful text search using SearchPDFText.

The problem is that the SearchPDFText returns true but doesn't select the first result, and the other functions (NextSearchResult and PrevSearchResult) don't select nothing.

Can you help me?

Thanks,
regards

In the viewer, I've added a textbox to find a string in the document I've opened correctly.

If I search a string, the SearchPDFText returns true but doesn't select the first result, and the other functions (NextSearchResult and PrevSearchResult) don't select nothing.

Otherwise, in the same document, with the CTRL+F keyboard shortcut the search works correctly..

In others tests, I've seen that the SearchPDFText returns true always (even if the text to find is not in the document)...why?

are You refering to: Debenu PDF Viewer SDK Quick Start Guide.pdf ?

Which says:

bool SearchPDFText(String SearchText)

Starts search for specified text in current PDF Document and selects first result.

Returns FALSE if the search failed.

void NextSearchResult(void)

Navigates to next result of successful text search using SearchPDFText.

void PrevSearchResult(void)

Navigates to previous result of successful text search using SearchPDFText.

I do some test

$oDPVS.SearchPDFText('e')

$oDPVS.NextSearchResult()

$oDPVS.PrevSearchResult()

And it really do not select any results.

Hi Marco,

as long as you're not posting the bug on the official support page

this bug (if it's a bug) won't be fixed i fear ;-)

I'm only a forum- and library-user from the "first hour".
