	I want to know if there is a function to extract words from a PDF document page. After I extract the words, I must search those for some specific words and the coordinates of those words in the pdf and save them. Appreciate some help!!!

	Yes, this is possible using the GetPageText function in Quick PDF Library. We have an example in our FAQ of how to find a specific word in a PDF. It's done by extract all the words plus co-ordinates from the PDF and then parsing the CSV output.
