Hi José,
Thank you for your interest in Essential PDF.
I regret to let you know, currently Essential PDF doesn’t support to find a word in a PDF document and highlight the word. But you can draw highlight annotation in a PDF document by using PdfTextMarkupAnnotation. Kindly refer the sample code snippet which demonstrates of drawing highlight annotation in a PDF document,
//Create a pdf textmarkup annotation
PdfTextMarkupAnnotation markupAnnotation = new PdfTextMarkupAnnotation("Markup annotation", "Markup annotation with highlight style", markupText, new PointF(175, 40), pdfFont);
markupAnnotation.TextMarkupColor = new PdfColor(Color.LightBlue);
markupAnnotation.TextMarkupAnnotationType = PdfTextMarkupAnnotationType.Highlight;
//Add this annotation to a new page.
page.Annotations.Add(markupAnnotation);
Please do find the sample from the below specified location and let me know if you need any further assistance.
