I'm not sure which forum to post this in.
We would like to search documents for keywords then display pages with the keywords highlighted.
Is there a way to search, then get the document coordinates for where matches are located? Then we could do the highlighting ourselves.

Re: Searching for and highlighting key words
Hello johnr@etakeoff.com,
Thank you for the post. you can do that using the advanced search option (CTRL+Shift+F). This search pane will show up to the right of your document. The search results and the page each result is on will populate in the white space below it as show in the screenshot below:
I hope this helps!

Re: Searching for and highlighting key words
I'm asking how to do it programmatically, using the SDK.
Since my original post I found the text extraction methods in the XCPRO40 library. It appears they would let me search for the text. But I don't see how to determine where the text would appear on the page so that I could highlight it.

Re: Searching for and highlighting key words
The view posted doesn't seem even vaguely related.
But I think the XCPRO40 Text Extraction methods will do what I want. It took me a while to figure out that the matric contained the coordinates. (That's explained in the documentation but I missed it.)
Thanks.
