I found a function called REACHTEXT .. but i am looking for something more.

I am more interested in know how many occurances of a word in the PDF document ... is there a way to get that programatically ?

I am currently evaluating your software. I would like to get the total occurances of a word in a document and I should be able to navigate to say 5th occurance of that word programatically.

Is that possible ?

Please let me know ASAP.

regards,

Hello,

ReachText finds a given string in the document.

To know the number of occurances of a given string you need to loop through the document and count the number of founds objects programmatically.

We may add later on a property to find the number of instances a given string occurs in the document but this depends on our Development Team and wether they decide to add such function or not.
