How to search in PDF format in Acrobat Reader And go to a specific page through the parameter?

We use lucene in a web application to search a large number of PDF documents.

The workflow is as follows:

  • User enters search query

  • A list of search results is provided to the user.

  • Each search result is a single PDF document and shows the user on which page the search query was found. Each of these pages is represented as a hyperlink.

  • If the user now clicks on such a hyperlink, he directly goes to this page.

  • But now the user has a problem that the search query does not stand out on the page. Therefore, the user must search independently to find the search query on the page.

What we wanted is a way to highlight the search term on a specific page in PDF.

The open options for Acrobat Reader allow you to either search for a PDF document (with highlight) or go to a specific page. But the combination of both parameters that we need does not work.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to navigate to a page and highlight the search term in a PDF document? I looked at the Acrobat SDK, but I don’t see how we can use it (this is terribly documented).

acrobat uses a plugin for hilite terms and requires a fdf stream to indicate words in hilite. See here for pointers:

You need to write a Javascript snippet to get the behavior you are looking for.
