Trouble implementing PDFFindController from PDFJS

[RutgerSwirski]

Hey guys,

I am currently using the react-pdf-highlighter package and I would like to add a search functionality throughout the PDF documents, however I am really having a hard time trying to implement the pdfFindController from pdfjs, I saw someone else managed to get it working with this package, could anyone please tell me how to implement this?

I am trying to add a new pdfFindController to an already existing pdfViewer instance using the eventBus and linkService i get from window.PDFViewer that is created by react-pdf-highlighter but no success. Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks!

Hi @RutgerSwirski

You can use following code in init() function:

this.viewer.findController= new PDFFindController({ eventBus: this.eventBus, linkService: this.linkService, });

See discussion in https://github.com/agentcooper/react-pdf-highlighter/issues/176 for adding this to API.
