A different approach // illustrated in MarkupPerPage is to create a text markup annotation per page. // // The PDF used in this example was downloaded from https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fendo.2022.1005722/full. public class FindAndHighlight { public int CreatePDF(Stream stream) { // Load the PDF: var doc = new GcPdfDocument(); using var fs = File.OpenRead(Path.Combine("Resources", "PDFs", "fendo-13-1005722.pdf")); doc.Load(fs);
// Find all occurrences of the word "childbirths": var found = doc.FindText(new FindTextParams("childbirths", true, false), null);
// Add a text markup annotation to highlight each occurrence: foreach (var f in found) { var markup = new TextMarkupAnnotation() { Page = doc.Pages[f.PageIndex], MarkupType = TextMarkupType.Highlight, Color = Color.Yellow }; List<Quadrilateral> area = new List<Quadrilateral>(); foreach (var b in f.Bounds) area.Add(b); markup.Area = area; }
// Done: doc.Save(stream); return doc.Pages.Count; } }}
