How do I get the end word-index of a multi-page selection?

[Gitte_Thorvil@adobeforums.com]

Hi there,

I have made a selection that covers several pages in continous view. I need to get the pagenumber and the word-index at the end of the selection.

I have managed to get the end-page with AVDocSelectionEnumPageRanges, but that still leaves me without a clue of which word the selection ends at.

If you get the selection-range with PDTextSelectGetRange and ask for the end (range->end) then it returns a word-index that equals the number of words on the first page of the selection, but this has nothing to do with the actual end of the selection, it just shows that the selection goes beyond the page.
Note that a continous multi-page selection only results in 1 range count (PDTextSelectGetRangeCount()). It also says that in the documentation.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Gitte

I found a way (workaround) to solve my problem - If anybody is interested:-)
