Good afternoon, I'm trying to add some kind of PDF viewer into my application. Original intent was to pass a string to search on a PDF file. I've been able to upload a pdf into it with webDev and being able to move around with the PDF Viewer Navigator in exchange. However the two challenges I've found now are: 1. PDF has a weird blank space on the bottom. This is not consistent across pages as some you can scroll down more than on other with some extra space. 2. Is there a way there can be implemented some kind of text search. Like I said the original idea was able to search and locate the page of the search. Any guidance is appreciated, Thanks in advance for any ideas. ---

Commenting to see if anyone has done anything related to this past year. I think I’m mostly trying to get the text search feature.
