PDFKit background search

I'm trying to run a search on a background thread using new iOS PDFKit framework.

override func main() {
    if isCancelled {
      return
    }
    pdfDocument = PDFDocument.init(url: book.document.url)!
    pdfDocument.delegate = self
    pdfDocument.beginFindString("test", withOptions: [.caseInsensitive, .diacriticInsensitive]) (async)
    //pdfDocument.findString("test", withOptions: [.caseInsensitive, .diacriticInsensitive]) (sync)

  }

The problem is that none of the PDFDocumentDelegate's methods isn't called and if I use the TIME Profiler nothing seems to happen. The sync option works but cannot be cancelled.

Any ideas?

Delegate methods will work fine for synchronous findString.

In case of async beginFindString you should rely on notifications:

// Objective - C
PDFDocumentDidBeginFindNotification
PDFDocumentDidEndFindNotification
PDFDocumentDidBeginPageFindNotification
PDFDocumentDidEndPageFindNotification
PDFDocumentDidFindMatchNotification

or

// Swift
Notification.Name.PDFDocumentDidBeginFind
Notification.Name.PDFDocumentDidEndFind
Notification.Name.PDFDocumentDidBeginPageFind
Notification.Name.PDFDocumentDidEndPageFind
Notification.Name.PDFDocumentDidFindMatch
