<PDF Reader>.SeekFirst (Function)

In french: <Lecteur PDF>.RecherchePremier

Initializes the search for a text in a PDF file displayed by the PDF Reader control and positions on the first occurrence found (from the current page). The text found is selected.

Example

// Recherche un texte dans un champ Lecteur PDF et affiche le texte
PDF_MonLecteurPDF.RecherchePremier("société")
// Recherche l'élément suivant
IF PDF_MonLecteurPDF.RechercheSuivant() = False THEN
	Info("Recherche terminée")
END

// Recherche l'élément précédent
PDF_MonLecteurPDF.RecherchePrécédent()

Syntax

<Result> = <PDF Reader control>.SeekFirst(<Text to find> [, <Options>])

<Result>: Boolean

True if the text was found in the document,
False if the text was not found.

<PDF Reader control>: Control name

Name of PDF Reader control to use.

<Text to find>: Character string

Text to find in the content of PDF Reader control.

<Options>: Optional constant (or combination of constants)

Search options:
IgnoreCase Case and accent insensitive search (ignores uppercase and lowercase differences).
WholeWord Whole word search (enclosed in punctuation characters or spaces).

By default, the search is case sensitive: the text searched for must have the same case as the text to be found. To perform a case-insensitive search, use the IgnoreCase constant.

Remarks

The text and the specified search options are automatically taken into account by <PDF Reader>.SeekNext and <PDF Reader>.SeekPrevious run after <PDF Reader>.SeekFirst.
Starting with version 28, this function is not supported by 32-bit ARM processors. New PDF features require a 64-bit execution mode.
If an application is to be run on devices with 32-bit ARM processors, it must be generated with WINDEV Mobile 27.
