You can't do this with UniPDFFrame. You need to use 3rd party tools to search text in pdf file.

Hi,

Can you try this?

 

 

  with UniPDFFrame1, JSInterface do
  begin
    UniSession.AddJS('var pdfApp = document.getElementsByName('+JSName+'.ifName)[0].contentWindow.PDFViewerApplication; '+
                     ' pdfApp.findBar.open(); '+
                     ' pdfApp.findBar.findField.value = "large"; '+
                     ' pdfApp.findBar.caseSensitive.checked = true; '+
                     ' pdfApp.findBar.highlightAll.checked = true; '+
                     ' pdfApp.findBar.findNextButton.click();');
  end;

Just for information in case someone needs to perform this procedure, this is the adjusted way to execute the search and not give error in a second search.

 

  with UniPDFFrame1, JSInterface do
  begin
    UniSession.AddJS(
    'var pdfApp = document.getElementsByName('+JSName+'.ifName)[0].contentWindow.PDFViewerApplication; '+
    '    pdfApp.findBar.open();'+
    '    $(pdfApp.findBar.findField).val("'+vP+'");'+
    '    var event = document.createEvent("CustomEvent");'+
    '    event.initCustomEvent("findagain", true, true, {'+
    '        query: "'+vP+'",'+
    '        caseSensitive: $("#findMatchCase").prop("checked"),'+
    '        highlightAll: $("#findHighlightAll").prop("checked", true),'+
    '        findPrevious: undefined'+
    '    });'+
    '    pdfApp.findBar.dispatchEvent("");'+
    '    ');
  end;
