Documentation
Videas PDFs are searchable out of the box. Search scans every page, highlights matches, and lets readers jump between results. As viewers type, the search bar proposes matching words from the document with the number of occurrences per word, so they can jump to the first match instantly. Text selection exposes an invisible text layer on top of the rendered pages, so viewers can copy/paste passages and screen readers can announce the content — the same layer powers the search feature.
