-----------------------------------
Summary: Add an example for highlighting text based on a string
Key: PDFBOX-2337
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-2337
Project: PDFBox
Issue Type: Wish
Components: Documentation, Utilities
Reporter: Joël Kuiper
Priority: Minor
An often heard request is to be able to highlight a certain text within a PDF
programmatically, similar to the highlight functionality in Acrobat or
Preview.app.
The actual implementation of this functionality is trickier than it appears,
since it requires the calculation of bouding boxes from TextPositions.
A example class may help people with implementing this (common) functionality.
