Highlighting PDFs programatically in .net - are there any APIs or Libraries to generate offset file or is there a better method?

I need to programatically highlight PDFs on the fly, preferrably using the highlight file method. Are there any .net programming libraries to generate a xml highlight offsets file for a pdf? Doesnt have to be open source or free.

I tried converting PDFBox to a .net DLL using IKVM and it did not work correctly. Im not terribly excited about the memory footprint of the entire java class library in the DLL anyway.

a second option would be to regenerate and highlight the source PDF, if there are any libraries / APIs that will do this to a PDF relatively easily that would work too, but I have not found any in my searches.

thanks in advance.

A: 

I dont know if this has solution for your requirement, but this is a good opensource api to work with PDF. I will be so happy if it could help your needs.

thanks for the response, but alas, no, iTextSharp does not generate the word offset XML file used for highlighting. iTextSharp's main focus is creating PDFs.
