I'd encourage you to head over to the product specific forums (if they exist), such as the here: Acrobat - JavaScript

That aside, you'll need to consider how the javascript will interact with your site. The searching of all content should be performed by "something" on your website, or a 3rd party, such as utilizing Google APIs to search a website for you. Here's a link to a Google JSON API for searching a site: Custom Search JSON API  |  Custom Search  |  Google Developers

The scripting you write will need to "talk" to something, get a response and then handle it by displaying it however you decide to do that.

HI,

Working with the Adobe Reader is very different than working with Adobe Acrobat. The functionality you mention, is that to be included in the Reader itself or inside a PDF that is being shown in the reader?

You mention both SDK or JavaScript, which would you prefer to use?

Once I have an answer for these, I can move this to the appropriate forum and we can see if we can get you an answer.

Regards

Malcolm
