Word are merging without space. about react-pdf-highlighter HOT 7 OPEN

This is a known limitation. Because PDF.js uses absolute positioning, the chunks of text are sometimes merged. What can be done: the code which gets the text from the range can be improved to take the rectangle positions into the account https://github.com/agentcooper/react-pdf-highlighter/blob/master/src/components/PdfHighlighter.js#L485.

Hi thanks for quick reply.

When I tried to open PDF and copy text with Google Chrome Default PDf viewer, I am not getting this issue.

As you said earlier the problem in PDF.js, do you have some work around code samples to solve this or do you aware of how Google Chrome able to solve this.

Chrome's built-in viewer is not PDF.JS, they use a custom PDF renderer: https://opensource.google.com/projects/pdfium.

Do you have any sample to fix this issue? Because you aware of this and you might have tried some approach to solve this.

If you have anything please share it, I can continue from there, because I have to fix this issue on priority now.

I don't have anything working, sorry. As I said earlier, I would start with exploring the distance between the rectangles.
