Hello David
I'm not really an expert of PDFBox...
I can tell you that text search is possible (I use it for text-extraction)
AFAIK there are 2 possible solutions:
- extract the text with [1] and just search in the result for your self
- use the integrated lucene search engine [2]
Highlighting seams also possible:
http://pdfbox.apache.org/userguide/highlighting.html
Zooming I don't know...
You could perhaps first convert the page as image
(PDPage.convertToImage()) and than you can zoom the image...
Have a look at the PDFREader [3]. It's a simple PDF doucument reader. It uses
PDPage.convertToImage() to create an image for each page. It should be easy to
add zooming using Java2D.
Best regards,
Patrick

Subject: Highlighting, Zoom, and Text Search
Hello all,
I am trying to create a PDF Document Reader using PDFBox that supports
highlighting, text search, and zoom. Is this possible with PDFBox? Are
there any examples out there that demonstrate how to do these three
things? (I didn't see any examples that demonstrate this in the
src/main/java/org/apache/pdfbox/examples folder)
Thanks for your help,
David
