Searching specific word to PDF using OCR

Hi Everyone,

I would like to ask if it is possible to ask the User to input a word and search that work into an electronic book (PDF)?

Upon trying, i can scrape out all the text from that ebook.

So the question is can i search text from that electronic book?

Regards,
Paula

Hi sir Patty,

For example this pdf,
https://www.youthforseva.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Short-Stories-for-Children.pdf

you’re going to seach the word THE WIND AND THE SUN then if it exists it will direct you to that page.
