Is it possible to search in pdfs?

Is it possible to search in pdfs? Is there any work done on this? I can try to check if there's any existing work on it.

Hi @mirkancal
Unfortunately no, I checked if that implementation could be done but the native dependencies I use are not able to do that. So I am sure it is somehow possible but that could be very complicated @mirkancal

Hi @karvulf and @andreBalh

Also obj-c version

That sounds really interesting, I will check that later @mirkancal

There's crazy amount of issues asking for search functionality on Android. Not sure if it will ever be implemented in the current library(barteksc)
