    Post Return PDF Page Number Using FindText

    I found the following example which works great but I can't figure out how to return the page number the string was found on. Does anyone have any idea on how to do it?
    HTML Code:
    sub FindStr ()
    
        Dim TextToFind  As String
        Dim PDFPath     As String
        Dim App         As Object
        Dim AVDoc       As Object   
    
        'Initialize Acrobat by creating the App object.
       
        Set App = CreateObject("AcroExch.App")
    
        PDFPath = "C:\temp\test.pdf 
     
        'Initialize Acrobat by creating the App object.
        Set App = CreateObject("AcroExch.App")
        'Create the AVDoc object.
        Set AVDoc = CreateObject("AcroExch.AVDoc")
     
        'Open successful, bring the PDF document to the front.
         AVDoc.BringToFront
      
         'Search from 1st page:  If true, the search begins on the first page of the document. If false, it begins on the current page (in this example is False).
         If AVDoc.FindText(TextToFind, True, True, False) = False Then
              
               'What I was hoping to find
               debug.print avdoc.pagenumber
      
         End If
    end sub
