Highlight search words in the pdf - search results

Madse
Hi,

i want to do a search in pdf files. If i search for a phrase, e.g. "asset allocation", i get 10 pdf files in the search result list. now i want to open a pdf without retyping the search phrase in the adobe reader. What i want is, that if i open the pdf, the first result is focussed/highlighted.

Is this possible? I think there must be an easy way/a plugin. The adobe reader supports a command line argument, where you can force a search for a phrase on opening.

Thanks in advance,
Mads

    Zotero doesn't have anything to do with Adobe Reader (which is not on all systems). It just passes the PDF to either Firefox or the system.

    that said, someone might be able to write a plugin for Zotero that does this for a given pdf reader - but that someone will have to be a third party developer.
