Search for text in a PDF

Is there a Livecycle component that will help me find the pages where a phrase is found?  If so, what is it?  And, can you provide an example?

Charles,

Take a look at using the DocumentText element.

<DDX ...>
<DocumentText mode="WithQuads" result="text.xml">
<PDF source="inDoc"/>
</DocumentText>
</DDX>

This example returns text.xml which is a word list xml document. It can output words per page (the default) or it can output the location for each word by setting the mode to "WithQuads".
