Sorry,
I agree. But as I search for text within PDF files?
I assumed true the following statement of yours...
[Somebody can help me please?
I need to search strings in Text files using just FPC.]
so I suggested the fast-enough (in my opinion) use of the Pos function.
If _now_ you want to search directly in the PDFs, then I cannot help
you, as I myself would go for the conversion to text files on first
instance.
TTYTT, I usually search for text in PDFs (using Acrobat Reader, just
searching, when I need to convert some e-books) and I see it's blooody
slow, compared to a search in a plain text file.
I doubt (but also would like to be discredited here...) there is a
faster library than the Adobe Acrobat Reader one itself, so I think the
combination of the two methods (conversion, and then search) would bring
to the same overall speed; if not higher...
Just my last 2c on the thing.
P.S.
Why don't you give it a try, cronometer at hand, first?
