Hi, I can confirm that poppler can in fact do what you need (hilighting a piece of text). I am working on an application which uses poppler for rendering pdf's and podofo for modifying the pdfs (adding annotations, etc). Maybe it is a little inefficient as I have to parse the pdf twice (once in poppler, once in podofo), but it gets the job done.
