Text manipulation

[Sunil Agrawal]

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?

Thanks, Sunil

Sorry for pestering, but does someone familiar with Pdf.js code have recommendations for me on the best way to do text manipulation?

If some work is imminent that will make my job easier, I would like to take advantage of it.

Thanks, Sunil

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.

Unfortunately I was never able to get it to work. Maybe someone else
on this mailing list might have better ideas.

I believe hyperlinking can be done without 'real' text manipulation,
similar to way PDF's Link Annotations are supported?
