Question

The text selection as character by character using SDK function

In one of plug-in application, I want to perform text selection and in that I want to allow user to select text as character by character (Acrobat itself will allow you to select only the characters), but sdk fucntion not allowing me to develop like that, here the text selection is always of whole words, not part of
words.   Is there a way to achieve that functionality(to selecte the desired part of the text), any SDK funciton available to set that option,  please let me know.

thanks,

Palaksha

I'm not aware of them. This is not a custom tool (which also exists, and you probably need one as well), this a custom selection server.

You mean, first I need to implement custom selection server, then custom tool?

It's not impossible. You can create custom selection tools. You would need to do your own analysis of exact click/drag positions and decide what text falls inside and outside the selection area.
