If the PDF is image based (like a multipage TIFF converted to PDF), then you will need to extract and OCR the individual images. The text data and positional information need to be saved to the cross reference table (I believe).

Once that is done (no small task), then you should be able to use the find function in FoxIt (faster than Adobe) or Adobe reader to locate the text you are trying to find.

If these are text based PDF's (not images) then you should be able to open them up with System.IO.TextReader, notepad, or similar text editing tool and search for the string you are looking for.

A high level overview of the PDF structure is here...http://www.planetpdf.com/developer/article.asp?ContentID=navigating_the_internal_struct&page=1[^]

Wiki entry... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portable_Document_Format#File_structure[^]

This one gives nice examples also...http://www.mactech.com/articles/mactech/Vol.15/15.09/PDFIntro/[^]

Jessica Cao has a nice list of other places to look here...http://forums.asp.net/p/1143759/1849142.aspx[^]

I used to have a better link that went into detail about the structure of PDF's, but I cant find it at the moment.
