----------------------------------------------------------------
I see that demand for this feature goes all the way back to PDFBOX-21. Does this issue replace the need for PDFBOX-1767 also?

> Project: PDFBox
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Utilities
> Affects Versions: 1.8.7, 2.0.0
> Reporter: Joël Kuiper
> Fix For: 1.8.7

>
> An often heard request is to be able to highlight a certain text within a PDF programmatically, similar to the highlight functionality in Acrobat or Preview.app.
> The actual implementation of this functionality is trickier than it appears, since it requires the calculation of bouding boxes from TextPositions.
> A example class may help people with implementing this (common) functionality.
> (see for example this discussion https://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/pdfbox-users/201409.mbox/%3CC8340BB9-E299-4A76-A50B-6155504A0D5B%40joelkuiper.eu%3E)
