Hi,
I am thinking of experimenting with text manipulation in Pdf.Js, e.g. do
spell correction before display. Currently, the text extraction is done in
Canvas code right before rendering. Is there a better place where that
could be done?
I looked at Partial Evaluator's extractTextContent, which gets me all the
text on a page, however, there's no scope of updating text there which will
get picked up by Canvas later. Any pointers will be highly appreciated.
Or should I wait for the 'Text Search/Text Extraction' work that
Julian/Brendan/Artur were referring to in one of the threads before I
embark on my experiment. If yes, is there a timeframe when that rework will
be done?

I am also interesting in maipulating text. I would like to add hyper links to other pdf or sections in the document based on the referencing text. Thinking of dynamically linking legislation.
