Yeah one day we'll need to investigate how react-pdf handled this and port it over.

https://github.com/wojtekmaj/react-pdf/blob/master/src/Page/TextLayer.jsx

They have a TextLayer that is drawn over top I think. Any work/pulls on this would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, work on selectable text has been done in the past here: https://bitbucket.org/ridethepony/react-pdf-js/commits/1b24f41dc763a29883d2c6a1e5fea7ff67a24a28?at=dev up to https://bitbucket.org/ridethepony/react-pdf-js/commits/2cc05868cb8e96ca594b1d9fae1c397cf01cca3d?at=dev This repo was originally forked from https://github.com/mikecousins/react-pdf-js to https://github.com/ridethepony/react-pdf-js and now moved to bitbucket. Maybe this helps?

Due to trying to keep this one pretty minimal I think I'm going to pass on adding this for now. It will take quite a bit of code and there are some other libraries that do this well already. I want to try to keep this one super lightweight.
