  • I found the temporary solution for this. I used CGScanner to search the text in the pdf. It works good. But the thing is I have to highlight the searched text within the pdf. – Manoj Kumar Jun 17 '10 at 05:58

You can certainly open a PDF document using a UIWebView just like on the iPhone. I don't know if it possible to search for text on the PDF itself - it is definitely not easy.

You can do it using uiwebview.load PDF on webview.

  • using CGScanner we cannot scan all the pdf's. different pdf are encrypted in different formats. cgscanner will not extract the data from all kinds of encryption formats. it will extract only from linear pdf's. – CKT Aug 24 '10 at 14:12
