The solution depends on the source PDF type. If the PDF file pages consist of raster images only (without text) then you need to use any SDK that has OCR feature to extract the text from each page then search the extracted text for the word you need to find. If the PDF pages consist of text only you can parse the text using any SDK that has PDF parser feature and then search the returned text for the word. These two solutions can be done easily using LEADTOOLS SDK.
