I would suggest you try to verify why John's suggestion fails, as
one would expect it to work. Alternatively try this:
Untested:
1. Ask for the bounds of the selection
2. Get the string of the selection
3. Get the string of the page
4. Use rangeOfString:options:range: on the page-string to search for
the selection-string (or you can use an NSScanner, but I think this
is simpler)
5. If you get a match you have a range. Use it to call
selectionForRange: on the page
6. If the bounds of the returned selection match the bounds returned
in step 1 you've found your range. If not continue searching the
page-string until you find the match.
I have not tested this yes but after a few test found out that using
directly rect returned by [PDFSelection boundsForPage: ()] is not
possible. However first going through NSIntegralRect on the result of
[PDFSelection boundsForPage: ()] leads to correct behavior. To me
this looks like an inconsistency in the API and I will enter a bug
I guess we should file a bug requesting PDFSelections be able to
return their rangeForPage: and also their rangeForDocument or
similarly named method that would yield the range within the full
text of the document.
Will do.
Thanks
