Selection

PdfEditor allows selecting specific operators easily using selection modes. There are two main object selection modes namely text selection and graphical object selection. The third way how to select objects is using multiselect which allows us to manually select more objects. Selection is very useful when performing an action on many objects (e.g. deleting...)

When this mode is selected we can select only text objects.

Note: TrueType fonts use pictures to draw letters and that makes it very difficult to compute the height of the letter. The height of a true type letter can be incorrect.

When this mode is selected we can select only graphical objects. Many pdf creators are putting strange invisible graphical objects to page so sometimes it is difficult to select the right graphical object.
