Hello,
Thanks for your inquiry.
Below code shows how to find text and highlight it. If this is not what you want, please provide your expected effect to help us have a better investigation.
- Code: Select all
static void Main(string[] args)
{
//Load the document from disk
PdfDocument pdf = new PdfDocument();
pdf.LoadFromFile("test.pdf");
PdfTextFind[] result = null;
foreach (PdfPageBase page in pdf.Pages)
{
//Find text
result = page.FindText("science").Finds;
foreach (PdfTextFind find in result)
{
//Highlight searched text
find.ApplyHighLight();
}
}
//Save the document
pdf.SaveToFile("result.pdf", FileFormat.PDF);
//View the Pdf file
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("result.pdf");
}
Sincerely,
Rachel

I don't want to highlight but add an outline or border around a word or words. Similar to the look of a text box.
Thank you
