Provide search within a PDF Document #36

As a

Researcher viewing a digitized PDF document in the Universal Viewer

I want

to search the full text of the document (if available in the pdf)

So that

I can find a paragraph/article of interest.

Context

At Georgetown, we have implemented a PDF document viewer using a javascript based package called FlexPaper. See the "bookview" link at https://repository.library.georgetown.edu/handle/10822/1047689 . It will take a minute for the PDF to download. Once it has downloaded, you will see that full text searching is enabled.

Eventually, we would like to replace our FlexPaper viewer with the Universal Viewer. In order to accomplish this, it would be particularly useful to have a within-document search available in a PDF.

I suspect that this solution would require us to convert the document full text into an annotation.

@m-art-in , not yet. This is a development that I hope will become available.
