Highlight a section inside pdf using Pdf.js

One of the authors for PDF.js, cjones, has stated:

No, and that’s (highlighting) not like something we would add to pdf.js. That ought to be easy to layer on top of pdf.js.

You will need to implement it yourself if you are interested in using this functionality.

I found a better way to achieve this find the co-ordinate of the point in the html page

and then subtract the co-ordinate(position) of div.textLayer from it to find the co-ordinate

of the text in the pdf displayed online.

In order to find the co-ordinate of the text in actual pdf find the aspect ratio and you would

get the actual co-ordinate

example

if the pdf displayed online is 800x900 and the text co-ordinate

[(31,35),(40,35),(40,40),(31,40)]

and the actual pdf size is 612x792

find the appropriate value of the area in actual pdf like this

(612/(800 / 31)),(792/(900/35))

and do this way for all co-ordinate found in online

i.e

(40,35),(40,40),(31,40)
