Hi there,

I need to render a PDF and allow the user to select text on the PDF.

As I see, Windows.Data.Pdf does not support more than returning an image.

Even so, how can I achieve my goal? The Windows 8 app "Reader" has this capability but I don't understand how it works.

BTW: I have tested other renderers but they have rendering issues with some complex PDF content (complex: RTL).

Thanks,

Lidan

Hi Lidan,

Unfortunately, the built-in PDF feature has not provided select text on the PDF. You can send your request on UserVoice to ask public that API. https://wpdev.uservoice.com/forums/110705-dev-platform.

Looking for a work around, you can use your favor search engine to look some third party library.
