Hi Greg,
Based on our understanding, you want to draw highlights using the vertices of the bounding rectangles rather than using text indices. This is supported - you can construct the highlight polygons from these rectangle vertices and then apply them through the DsPdfViewer highlight APIs.
Please refer to the attached sample, which demonstrates how to apply highlights programmatically using the available highlight APIs.
Please let us know if you require any further assistance.
