---------------------------------------------------------------
Here is a working implementation
https://gist.github.com/joelkuiper/331a399961941989fec8
It may still require some refactoring but calling the file with <input-pdf> <output-pdf> <pattern> will highlight the pattern in yellow

> Project: PDFBox
> Issue Type: Wish
> Components: Documentation, Utilities
> Reporter: Joël Kuiper
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: example, examples
>
> 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.
