Adobe Embed API.- Ability to Search multiple sentences and highlight them

Question

I am trying to create a solution with Adobe Embed API. The requirement is to search based on multiple sentences and have the search criteria show up in search toolbar. Also highlight each of the selected sentences in the document where they are found. Is this functionality even possible with Adobe Embed API?

@Sridhar335174958j79 It's important to clarify that the Adobe Embed API is a JavaScript library designed for embedding PDFs into web applications, which then run in a web browser (including mobile web browsers). It's not directly about developing for the native Adobe Acrobat Reader mobile app. There are some limitations to be aware of, especially on mobile phones in "Full Window" embed mode. Annotation tools are generally not supported on phones in Full Window embed mode (they are supported on tablets). This might impact your ability to programmatically add highlights if that's part of your "solution" beyond the automatic search highlighting and Print and download functionalities might also have limitations on iOS devices.
