I have a pdf loaded onto a UIWebView. I want to do search of a string in that PDF. So I used these steps

	NSString* addressText =[NSString stringWithFormat:searchBar.text];
	NSString *javaSript=[NSString stringWithFormat:
						 @"var highlightStartTag = \"<font style='color:blue; background-color:yellow;'>\";"
						 " var highlightEndTag = \"</font>\";"
						 " var bodyText = document.body.innerHTML;"
						 " var searchTerm=%@;"
						 " var newText = \"\";"
						 " var i = -1;"
						 " var lcSearchTerm = searchTerm.toLowerCase();"
						 " var lcBodyText = bodyText.toLowerCase();"
 						 " while (bodyText.length > 0){"
						 " i = lcBodyText.indexOf(lcSearchTerm, i+1);"
						 " if (i < 0){"
						 " newText += bodyText;"
						 " bodyText = "";}"
						 " else{"
						 " if (bodyText.lastIndexOf(\">\", i) >= bodyText.lastIndexOf(\"<\", i)){"
						 "if (lcBodyText.lastIndexOf(\"/script>\", i) >= lcBodyText.lastIndexOf(\"<script\", i)){"
						 " newText += bodyText.substring(0, i) + highlightStartTag + bodyText.substr(i, searchTerm.length) + highlightEndTag;"
						 " bodyText = bodyText.substr(i + searchTerm.length);"
						 " lcBodyText = bodyText.toLowerCase();"
						 " i = -1;"
						 " }"
						 " }"
						 " }"
						 " }"
						 " bodyText = newText;"
						 " document.body.innerHTML = bodyText;",addressText];
	[webView stringByEvaluatingJavaScriptFromString:javaSript];

But it seems to have no effect. Dont this work on a pdf loaded onto a webView. I have been doing this thing for about 3 days. Plz give me some idea.
