PDF Highlighter Command Line

PDF Highlighter Command Line is a command line application which can be used to highlight more keywords in PDF pages. PDF Highlighter Command Line can be used as a server-side application that highlight keywords in PDF documents "on the fly", you can call it from your service side application to highlighting search terms.

PDF Highlighter simplifies the PDF viewing process by highlighting keywords within a text. Unlike the standard "search" function found in PDF viewer, Highlighter's unique features streamline the process by highlighting multiple search terms and phrases simultaneously. Additionally, PDF Highlighter assigns separate colors to different keywords, further enhancing and organizing search results.

PDF Highlighter Command Line improves your user's search experience. Highlight multiple search terms and phrases with ease.

Highlighter supports advanced search options including:

* Phrases and proximity search
* Wildcards
* Fuzzy search
* Alternatively, instead of feeding Highlighter with search terms, the highlight file can be used to specify locations of text that should be marked in the document.

Multicolor hit highlighting
PDF Highlighter ensures that same terms are assigned the same color. The highlighter automatically assigns colors to different terms, making the document review process more user-friendly and efficient. The color coding feature makes PDF Highlighter ideal for document forensics and natural language processing (NLP) tools as well—where the number of marked terms is much higher than for simple user queries.

Batch PDF processing
Batch highlighter can automatically annotate all your PDF documents using a file containing predefined keywords and phrases. You can assign a color to each individual phrase.

Generated PDF can be opened in any PDF viewer.
