Do you like to create some highlight script like Google Books? – fabrik Mar 10 '11 at 12:45

Look here, not really PHP but hope it helps: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/668031/how-to-get-the-x-y-coordinates-of-a-point-in-a-pdf/668564#668564 – fabrik Mar 10 '11 at 12:51

Have a look at this article,, it descripes what is needed to do and then shows you some code and a usage example. It gets the text out of a pdf file. Then you can use php strpos function to search for a string in it.
Maybe this SO question and answer can help you. It is in perl but does the job I think. Maybe you can rewrite the code for php.
- Please mark as answer if this helped.
