Can I get the page number and line number in the iPhone?

Question

Is it possible to get the page number and line number of a specific text from a doc / rtf / pdf document in iPhone sdk?

Can the QLPreviewController or UIDocumentmentInteractionController any help?

EDIT:

I am trying to create something like iAnnotate, Sente. An application in which the user can select any text and can add comments to the selected text.

I went through the fastpdfkit api, which seems to be the only api that can be useful.

Can you guys lead me in the right direction.

Answer 2

If you look at it using PDF, RTF and DOC, it is best to approach it differently, as they are all very different.

Instead, if you are considering attaching comments to a page area, rather than to a specific selection of text, then all you need to know about the document is the page you are looking at. Much easier. Then you can “pull out” the user a comment box for the area of ​​this page. Think of them more like sticky notes.

This way you can add comments to images as well as text, and this allows a much more flexible system to support other file formats in the future.

I understand that this is not a direct answer to the question, but thought that it was appropriate enough for publication.
