how to highlight text in pdf code example
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];

});
return {page: pageIndex, coords: selected};
}
