I also don't understand the question. Adding Search functionality using JavaScript is easy (and described in the book). Parsing a PDF to retrieve words and their coordinates is not impossible and can be extremely difficult, if not impossible. You can do it with iText as described in chapter 15 of the book (second edition). This chapter will be available by the end of the week in the MEAP version. Suppose you have a title "chapter 1 Introduction", and you want to find where that String is located in a PDF. You'll find out that this is possible for some PDF files (with iText or with other products), but completely impossible for other PDF files (regardless of the software that is used). -- This answer is provided by 1T3XT BVBA http://www.1t3xt.com/ - http://www.1t3xt.info ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ iText-questions mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/itext-questions Buy the iText book: http://www.itextpdf.com/book/ Check the site with examples before you ask questions: http://www.1t3xt.info/examples/ You can also search the keywords list: http://1t3xt.info/tutorials/keywords/
