I was looking in to Adobe acrobat and one of the features I noticed was that when you hit control + F there is a popup to find and replace text. Once you hit the replace button on the popup, all the text inside the entire PDF Document becomes split into small sections surrounded by a box. Even after I close out of the find and replace pop up, the sections remain. Is there anyway to parse text like this with adobe acrobat SDK?

these boxes are the unique text objects, some pdf files may contain even single letter per object (though visually they form a word). – Eugene Mar 30 '16 at 15:47

With the Adobe Acrobat SDK, you can use the same search feature that is built into [Acrobat](http://help.adobe.com/en_US/acrobat/acrobat_dc_sdk/2015/HTMLHelp/#t=Acro12_MasterBook%2FOverview_Searching%2FSearch_plug-in.htm) (their documentation doesn't say anything about whether the UI is the same though). Are you looking to recreate the UI or leverage what exists in Acrobat already? – Brandon Haugen Apr 05 '16 at 01:56
