You could examine the selection / detect words that are not selected at whole. That should be easy.

Hi everyone,

I am currently using pdfview and I am trying to emulate the function
in adobe acrobat where user can drag a rectangle over the text and
have all the text inside the rect selected.  I tried to use
selectionForRect function to get the pdfselection.

However, I notice that this function will only select the part of the
words that is inside the rect. If my rect only cover the part "sam"
from the word "sample", then only "sam" will be selected. This is
different from adobe's behavior where the whole word will be selected
as long as one of its character is inside the rect.

So.. my question is.. is there any workaround for this so that I could
easily select all the words that are inside or partially inside the
rect? Thank you very much for your kind attention.

Regards,
David
