I've read through the mailing list archive and found some interesting postings concerning the search for a certain string within a PDF document, but I haven't found a solution, yet.
I'd like to search for a certain string pattern within a PDF document and add a link to an external HTML page to this string. The adding of the link might be done using an "Annotation", but in this case I would have to know the exact position of the string pattern in order to place the link resp. the annotation. Where can I get the position from? I've tried JPedal and PdfBox. JPedal seems to have an option returning the exact position when searching for a pattern, but I can't find a solution with PdfBox. I'd prefer a solution with PdfBox because of the commercial-friendly BSD license. Maybe this task could be solved solely with iText - that would of course be the best solution. I'd appreciate any code snippets or hints... Thanks for your help!
