Get selected text with itext

Question

I am using itext in vaadin Framework to read a pdf document and I want to get the text that I select (blue highlight normal selection) in this pdf with itext.

After many search I haven't been able to found out this specific way of selection.

Answer 1

The text selection process is done by Operating system itself. This is OS specific task. You have to use windows/Linux (based on the OS) specific functions in Java to achieve your target.
