Search for text in pdf document

doug-gov opened this issue · 1 comments

I'm new to javascript and have been tasked with creating a table of contents in an existing PDF. I was wondering if there was a way in PDFDocument or PDFPage where I can search for text a string.

I read the existing pdf in using fs.fileread. But if a do a .toString() on the PDFPage I cannot see any text. My thinking was I could read the PDF in, go page by page and search for headers and make a note of what page they are found in. Then insert a blank page and use drawText to display the header along with a page number.

Thanks for any help you can give me.
