C# - How to: Open PDF, highlight search-results, and save highlighting back to PDF

Question

I'm using itextsharp.dll.

How do I search and highlight text in the pdf file?

After highlighting the text in pdf, I want to save the highlighted pdf file such that when the PDF is re-opened, it is still highlighted.

Any ideas?
