Selection Tool & Arabic PDF issue

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago

   Hi dear.
   I discover an Arabic PDF has little problems in comparism with other PDF of Arabic contents. Please assess this PDF, it may help you to improve Arabic text selection.

   This PDF is attached file named "Nokia_808". Please look for page 51 of this PDF & compare selections that I made in this page with that I made in page 51 of other PDF which is named "GT-P6800_UM". Look how selections in "Nokia_808" is more accurate regarding inclusion of 1st latter, & selection is more CONTINOUS with little discontinousion than that in "GT-P6800". 

   By the way: discontinousion of underline or highlight is not limited to Arabic text, but even English one but is more sever with Arabic ...... .

   Best

   Hi again. I have the following idea: I think that the chief cause of problems with your selection tool is that it is designed to grasp WHOLE word ! This - as I think - the major facter in producing DISCONTINOUSION of annotations (highlight & underline) & make selection for right to left language suffer from more problem.
   My suggestion is that: please change selection tool in such a manner that it grasp latter by latter not word by word. This is the case in ezPDF reader & other perfact editors ........ .
