I see that demand for this feature goes all the way back to PDFBOX-21. Does

> 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.
