Please check the URL: http://cde.cerosmedia.com/1T4c3744326abcd119.cde I client want some thing like this. User will search a word and application searches that word in a opened page and highlight it. This is a Flash application and uses php at back-end to generate XML. Can anyone help me out in this?

You will need to find a PHP tool that lets you extract text from a PDF file, but it also needs to tell you the exact location of the text in the file. The steps required would be: Extract text with co-ordinates from PDF Iterate through the extracted text until you find matching search term Get the co-ordinates of the matching search term Use the co-ordinates to highlight the same word in the same location in Flash app Good luck!
