This might help you, or at least give you a basic idea about
how to do flash text search & highlighting:
    http://www.swftools.org/flash/textsnapshot.html

It uses static text, to instead use a converted HTML/PDF file
change
    sprite TextBox
        .put line1 x=0 y=50
        .put line2 x=0 y=100
        .put line3 x=0 y=150
    .end
    .put TextBox 
to
    .swf TextBox convertedfile.swf
    .put TextBox 
.
