Hi,

I'm working on pdfviewer searchtext function. The error occurred after clicking few times on left side text. Javascript search function as below. A list of text on left side bar to allow user to click and pass the text to search function and auto scroll to the specific page.

javascript;

function searchText(text){

var viewer = document.getElementById('iframe').contentWindow.document.getElementById('pdfviewer').ej2_instances[0];

viewer.textSearchModule.cancelTextSearch();

console.log(text);

viewer.textSearchModule.searchText(text);

document.getElementById('iframe').scrollIntoView();

}

Hi Kuan,

We were unable to reproduce the issue “Web-service is not listening” with the provided details in a simple sample. The line “viewer.textSearchModule.searchText(text);” itself auto scrolls to the specific page where the specified text is found. You can also call the goToPage() method as below to go to a specified page.

viewer.navigationModule.goToPage(25);

The sample we tried at our end can be downloaded from the following link. Kindly share the modified sample to replicate the issue at our end so that we can check at our end and provide a prompt solution at the earliest.

Hi Shamini,

I had referred your sample project and changed my code, it works now. Thanks.

By the ways, I try to search the whole sentence like below screenshot with yellow highlighted but viewer shows message as "Viewer has finished searching the document. No more matches were found".

Does pdfviewer support sentence search?

Moreover, can pdfviewer had a loader when run the searchText function? It takes sometime to highlight the text and no loading sign on the viewer, especially for those document more than 1000 pages. 

        viewer.textSearchModule.searchText(text);

Regards,

Kuan Long
