    FireFox plugin no longer highlights keysearch words

      I originally posted this in the feature request section.  Zero responses.  I hope someone, here, can provide answers.

       

      Hello, everyone.

       

      I've been working on a project that will allow a user to open PDFs that are available after a user performs a search.

       

      In FireFox, the plugin would highlight the keyword(s) used in the search, simply by using URL parameters (ie, if a user searched for 'hazmat', PDFs that have the word 'hazmat' in them would be listed; when a user clicked the link for one, the PDF would open in a new browser tab with the full URL that would have "#search=hazmat&zoom=100" appended to the end of the PDF file name.)  The user could then scroll down the document looking for highlighted words.

       

      Something changed in the PDF plugin for FireFox - this feature no longer works as it used to.  Our customer is wondering when we are going to put this feature back into their website.  I told them that it was the PDF plugin for FireFox that allowed that, and that I would investigate to see if I could discover why this feature is no more.

       

      Anyone know why this was removed from the PDF plugin?  Is there a workaround?  Is this feature going to come back?

       

      Here is the plugin info:

      File: nppdf32.dll,nppdf32.dll
      Path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 11.0\Acrobat\browser\nppdf32.dll,C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 11.0\Acrobat\Air\nppdf32.dll
      Version: 11.0.7.79
      State: Enabled

      Thank you,
