VB6 - Search word in PDF file

Hi,

I have this application that show me a PDF file from why hard drive into a WebBrowser1.

Beside, i have a textbox where i will have specific words in it.

What i'M trying to do is to be able to double click on a specific word from the textbox and that would find the selected word into the PDF file. And if i click on Find next command, it would search for the next selected word into the PDF file.

How can i do that?

Thanks for your help.

Would it be easier to do it if i use AcroPDF1 instead of WebBrowser1?

I would think that a third party tool would be most helpful. Otherwise, your clients will need to have Adobe, which will add to the cost of your application.

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
