Hi There,

Please can anyone tell me if it's possible to create bounding box coordinates, for a link annotation, from text highlighted using the Text Touchup Tool?

I've had a look through the JS Reference and have found selStart and selEnd, can anything be derived using these positions.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Nick

P.S. Am I in the right direction with:-

doc.getPageNthWord()
doc.getPageNthWordQuads()

Look at the "addLink" method in JS API Reference. The quads, "oCoords", used for the link are the same as for the words.
