Hi everyone!
I have two small questions. 1. How can I find concrete text on the concrete page? 2. How to highlight this founded text? Thanx

Hi,
have a look for GetPageText with option 3 or 4. This gives you the text together with the coordinates of its bounding box. For highlightening: take the coordinates and draw a new filled rectangle with transparency (best on a new layer). HTH, Uli |

Hi Dimitry!
1) Use one of the functions: DAExtractPageText, GetPageText or ExtractFilePageText. Then the text is inside a string. There you can use Pos(searchstring, string). If the returning value is greater then 0 then your searchstring is inside the textcontentstring of the special page. 2) Sorry... I think that's not possible with QuickPDF. Perhaps one other guy here has more experience? But ... what you can do with QuickPDF: If you know the pagenumber with the searchstring (1.) then you can make the pdf-document starting with that special page... Best regards, Ingo |
