Hi Alisson,

I guess you are dealing with searchable PDF, right? Highlighting text is easy with GdPicture.NET Ultimate 12, you will need:
- to search for the text: https://www.gdpicture.com/guides/gdpicture/web ... hText.html
- to highlight the search result: https://www.gdpicture.com/guides/gdpicture/web ... ation.html

And also to use the proper measurement units. Your code will be something like:
oGdPicturePDFDest.SelectPage(1);
oGdPicturePDFDest.SetMeasurementUnit(PdfMeasurementUnit.PdfMeasurementUnitInch);
float left = 0;
float top = 0;
float height = 0;
float width = 0;
float pageHeight = oGdPicturePDFDest.GetPageHeight();
oGdPicturePDFDest.SearchText("the text I am looking for", 1, false, true, ref left, ref top, ref width, ref height);
top = pageHeight - top;
oGdPicturePDFDest.AddSquareAnnotation(left, top, width, height, "", "", 0.1f, PdfAnnotationBorderStyle.PdfAnnotationBorderStyleSolid, 0f, 0f, 0.5f, 0, 122, 0);

Hope it helps you.

David

Hi David, thank you for reply.

This is not what i'm looking for. But, yesterday, at night, i find the way to highlight the text.
In bellow, is the code that i use to make this:

RectangleF[] rects = documentViewer.GetSelectedTextRegions();
AnnotationManager manager = documentViewer.GetAnnotationManager();

foreach (RectangleF mark in rects)
{
var AnnotationObject = manager.AddRectangleHighlighterAnnot(Color.Yellow, mark.Left, mark.Top, mark.Width, mark.Height);
}

I hope this code help someone else!
