Yeah, a little hacky Indeed this is and it fails. When I call PDFSelection *aSel = [aPage selectionForRect:aRec]; the PDFKit returns me empty selection More to dig ...

But the problem here is to get the yourRememberedRange. Access to it does not seem to exist on a PDFSelection. As John Calhoun suggested in another email I tried with rect but this fails also. I would suggest you try to verify why John's suggestion fails, as one would expect it to work. Alternatively try this: Untested: 1. Ask for the bounds of the selection 2. Get the string of the selection 3. Get the string of the page 4. Use rangeOfString:options:range: on the page-string to search for the selection-string (or you can use an NSScanner, but I think this is simpler) 5. If you get a match you have a range. Use it to call selectionForRange: on the page 6. If the bounds of the returned selection match the bounds returned in step 1 you've found your range. If not continue searching the page- string until you find the match. I guess we should file a bug requesting PDFSelections be able to return their rangeForPage: and also their rangeForDocument or similarly named method that would yield the range within the full text of the document.

If not continue searching the page-string until you find the match. I have not tested this yes but after a few test found out that using directly rect returned by [PDFSelection boundsForPage: ()] is not possible. However first going through NSIntegralRect on the result of [PDFSelection boundsForPage: ()] leads to correct behavior. To me this looks like an inconsistency in the API and I will enter a bug I guess we should file a bug requesting PDFSelections be able to return their rangeForPage: and also their rangeForDocument or similarly named method that would yield the range within the full text of the document. Will do. Thanks laurent ___ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
