I'm very interested in passing a search parameter into a PDF document, and having the "Find" feature auto-search the document when I open it. I hope that description is clear.
We have many large documents that our users need to search, but we'd like to launch the articles without them having to manually enter search terms each time.
Also, we'd rather not revisit each and every file to tag various sections - hence the question about passing in a search term directly and having the document open "pre-searched" as it were.
Is this possible via the SDK? Is this something that could also be done with Reader?
Thanks very much -

One way to do this would be to use a PDF Open Parameter passing the value of the search word to do this.
Doing this from an HTML hyperlink would look something like this:
[url=http://www.myserver.com/myFolder/myPDF.pdf#search="dog,frog"]http://www.myserver.com/myFolder/myPDF.pdf#search="dog,frog"[/url]
For more information on the PDF Open Parameters visit the following URL:

Hope this helps,
