Get selected text content

Hello,

I created a plugin to add a custom menu which will get the selected text and then I can do the operation on that text.

	AVDoc avDoc = AVAppGetActiveDoc();
	// if a PDF is open, get its number of pages
	PDDoc pdDoc = AVDocGetPDDoc(avDoc);

// Get the selected text as a text select

PDTextSelect pdtext =static_cast<PDTextSelect>(AVDocGetSelection(avDoc));

Now, I want to get the actual text content with this object. How can I achieve that?

Thanks

Best Regards,

Navnath

1. Verify the selection type is Text or your code will surely crash Acrobat (when it isn't)

2. PDTextSelectEnumText.

And bear in mind, per the documentation, that the text passed to the callback may not be in reading order.
