I would like to be able to highlight a symbol and search for it throughout a PDF. I found an inaccessible discussion about this from 2016 that may have had the answer. Please help if you can!

I am looking at plans for buildings. Usually there is a legend that has various symbols. I want to be able to select a symbol and do a search for the same symbol.

    If that symbol is an image it's not possible. If it's a character then you can try copying it and then pasting into the Find dialog.

    If that doesn't work a script might be able to do it.
