Modifying font of text found using FindText

[PdfNovice]

Hello

I am using freespire pdf to locate text in a pdf document and then to apply a highlight. I am using FindText and ApplyHighlight to achieve this. I have now been asked to highlight the text by changing the font (eg bold, underline, colour) rather than a highlight box, but this does not appear to be anywhere near as simple as a highlight.

Can this be done in a fairly straightforward manner?

Thank you.

Hello,

Thanks for your inquiry.
I am sorry that at present our Spire.Pdf doesn't support to modify the font style of text found using FindText.
We will inform you when it is supported in the future.

Thank you for your patience.

I'm glad to inform you that our Spire.PDF has supported retrieving font formatting of found text. Note: Only supports retrieving bold, faux bold (font style set to fill and stroke), italic, and color; does not support retrieving underline.
