Hello,

I have written a plugin to select highlighted text from PDF document.

However,text I get from PDF document is retrieved with actual formatting, for example, new line etc.

I want the text without any formatting.

Here is the code snippet to get the highlight annotated text.

Here is my code for getting the annotated text:

ACCB1 ASBool ACCB2 pdTextSelectEnumTextProc(void* procObj, PDFont font, ASFixed size, PDColorValue color, char* text, ASInt32 textLen)
{
char stringBuffer[200];
strcpy(stringBuffer, text);
ss << stringBuffer;
return true;
}

if (ASAtomFromString("Highlight") == PDAnnotGetSubtype(annot))
{
// Gets the annotation's rect
PDAnnotGetRect(annot, &boundingRect);
// Gets the text selection from the annotation's rect
PDTextSelect textSelect = PDDocCreateTextSelect(pdDoc, pageNum, &boundingRect);
// create a callback to get the text from highlighted bounding box
PDTextSelectEnumText(textSelect, ASCallbackCreateProto(PDTextSelectEnumTextProc, &pdTextSelectEnumTextProc), &annBuf);
MessageBox(NULL, ss.str().c_str(), NULL, NULL);
}

String stream contains the string with all formatting.

How can I get the text without any formatting?

Thanks

You mentioned ellipsis (...) in some other post I think? If so we should consider that in Latin1 encodings that 0x85 is an ellipsis (single character for three dots). It is not layout.
