Example: pdf highlighter

function getSelectionCoords() {
    var pdfViewer = window.appPdfViewer;    
    var pageIndex = pdfViewer.currentPageNumber - 1; 
    var page = pdfViewer.getPageView(pageIndex);
    var pageRect = page.canvas.getClientRects()[0];
    var selectionRects = window.getSelection().getRangeAt(0).getClientRects();
    var viewport = page.viewport;
    var selectionRectsList = Object.values(selectionRects);
    var selected = selectionRectsList.map(function (r) {
      return viewport.convertToPdfPoint(r.left - pageRect.x, r.top - pageRect.y).concat(
         viewport.convertToPdfPoint(r.right - pageRect.x, r.bottom - pageRect.y)); 
    });
    return {page: pageIndex, coords: selected};
}
