                PdfDocument pdfDoc = PdfDocument.Merge(null, document) as PdfDocument;

                

                //Gets the first page from the document

                

                float width = pdfDoc.Pages[0].Size.Width;

                float height = pdfDoc.Pages[0].Size.Height;

                if (pdfDoc.Pages[0].Rotation == PdfPageRotateAngle.RotateAngle90 ||

                    pdfDoc.Pages[0].Rotation == PdfPageRotateAngle.RotateAngle270)

                {

                    width = pdfDoc.Pages[0].Size.Height;

                    height = pdfDoc.Pages[0].Size.Width;

                }

                if (width > height)

                {

                    pdfDoc.Sections[0].PageSettings.Orientation = PdfPageOrientation.Portrait;

                }

                else

                {

                    pdfDoc.Sections[0].PageSettings.Orientation = PdfPageOrientation.Landscape;

                    pdfDoc.Sections[0].PageSettings.Size = new SizeF(width, height);

                }

                //Add a list to maintain extracted text information

                List<TextData> extractedText = new List<TextData>();

                //Extract text from first page

                pdfDoc.Sections[0].Pages[0].ExtractText(out extractedText);

                //for (var yu = 0; yu < arrvalues_smipp.Length; yu++)

                //{

                foreach (TextData textData in extractedText)

                {

                    if (textData.Text == "F261")

                    {

                        PdfGraphics graphics = pdfDoc.Pages[0].Graphics;

                        Font font = new Font("Calibri", 10, FontStyle.Bold);

                        PdfFont pdfFont = new PdfTrueTypeFont(font, false);

                        PdfSolidBrush brush = new PdfSolidBrush(Color.DarkGreen);

                        PdfPen pen = new PdfPen(PdfBrushes.DarkMagenta, 5f);

                        float x_coordiante = textData.Bounds.Location.X - 3;

                        float y_coordinate = textData.Bounds.Location.Y - 10;

                        float width1 = textData.Bounds.Size.Width;

                        float height1 = textData.Bounds.Size.Height;

                        RectangleF rectangle = new RectangleF(x_coordiante, y_coordinate, width1, height1);

                        PdfTextMarkupAnnotation textmarkup = new PdfTextMarkupAnnotation("", "", textData.Text, new PointF(x_coordiante, y_coordinate), pdfFont);

                        textmarkup.TextMarkupColor = new PdfColor(Color.LightPink);

                        textmarkup.TextMarkupAnnotationType = PdfTextMarkupAnnotationType.Highlight;

                        textmarkup.Rotate = PdfAnnotationRotateAngle.RotateAngle180;

                        pdfDoc.Sections[0].Pages[0].Annotations.Add(textmarkup);

                    }

                }

                pdfDoc.Save("HighlightText.pdf");
