Is it possible to get the page number and line number in iPhone

Is it possible to get the page number and line number of particular text from doc/rtf/pdf in iPhone sdk?

Can QLPreviewController or UIDocumentInteractionController be of any help?

EDIT:

I am trying to create something like iAnnotate,Sente. Application where in user will be able to select some text and can add comments for selected text.

I have gone through the fastpdfkit api's which seems the only api which can be of some help.

Can you guys guide me in the right direction.

If you're looking at doing this with PDF, RTF and DOC it might be best to approach it in a different way as they are all very different formats.

Instead - if you consider attaching comments to an area of the page as opposed to a specific text selection then all you need to know about the document is which page you're looking at. A much easier task. Then you get the user to 'drag out' a comments box for an area of that page. Think of them more like sticky-notes.

This way you can add comments to images as well as text and it allows a much more flexible system for support of other file formats in the future.

I realise this isn't I direct answer to the question, but thought it relevant enough to post.
