i read question earlier week. @ time, didn't have answer you. stumbled on methods setstartpage() , setendpage() on pdfbox documentation pdftextstripper class , made me think of question , answer. it's been 4 months since asked question, maybe someone. know learned thing or 2 while writing it.

when search pdf file, can search range of pages. functions setstartpage() , setendpage() set range of pages searching. if set start , end page same page number, know page search term found on.

in code below, using windows forms application can adapt code fit application.

using system; using system.windows.forms; using org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel; using org.apache.pdfbox.util; //the diagnostics namespace needed specify pdf open parameters. more on them later. using system.diagnostics; //specify string searching string searchterm = "golden"; //i using static file path string pdffilepath = @"f:\myfile.pdf"; //load document pddocument document = pddocument.load(pdffilepath); //get number of pages int numberofpages = document.getnumberofpages(); //create instance of text stripper text pdf document pdftextstripper stripper = new pdftextstripper(); //loop through pages. search page page (int pagenumber = 1; pagenumber <= numberofpages; pagenumber++) {     //set start page     stripper.setstartpage(pagenumber);     //set end page     stripper.setendpage(pagenumber);     //get text page range set above.     //in case searching 1 page.     //i used tolower method make text lowercase     string pdftext = stripper.gettext(document).tolower();     //just fun, display text on each page in messagebox. pdf file has 2 pages. might annoying if have more.     messagebox.show(pdftext);     //search pdftext search term     if (pdftext.contains(searchterm))     {         //just fun, display page number on found search term         messagebox.show("found search term on page " + pagenumber);         //create process. opening pdf document specific page number         process myprocess = new process();         //i specified adobe acrobat program open         myprocess.startinfo.filename = "acrobat.exe";         //see link below info on pdf document open parameters         myprocess.startinfo.arguments = "/a \"page=" + pagenumber + "=openactions\"" + pdffilepath;         //start process         myprocess.start();         //break out of loop. found our search term , opened pdf file         break;     } } //close document opened. document.close();
