If I start a seach request in a multi-layered very large pdf with a huge amout of pages, the UI of my App freezes and the user can't use the app 'til the search is ready. How can I avoid this behaviour?

Hi,

to avoid this behavior, you could perform the action in background, for example using performBlockInBackground method of the NSObject category included into demo project.

This is not working. The search is still blocking the UI!
Do do you habe another solution?

This is my code:
[self.m_view vGoto:0];        
dispatch_queue_t queue = dispatch_get_global_queue(DISPATCH_QUEUE_PRIORITY_BACKGROUND, 0);
        dispatch_async(queue, ^{
            [self.m_view vFindStart:searchTerm :NO :NO];
            dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
                [self.m_view vFind:1];                
            });
});

Hi,

can you reproduce this issue in demo project? In this case, can you share the pdf used for testing?
