How to highlight text in PDF programmatically for iPAD ? - ios

I am working on an iPad application in which I have to select the text from pdf file and then highlight it. Somebody suggested to use PDFKitten but it has an option to select the text using search box to highlight text randomly. I was just wondering how to highlight a text by touch and drag it by finger.I couldn't find any proper library yet. It would be great if anyone share solution for this.

Copy/Paste Plain text without the formatting

i have to copy/paste text from Safari and Notes to the Mail App multiple times per day. Previous IOS update only pasted plain text without any formatting, but they changed it now.
Every time i paste text in the Mail App it comes with the formatting which is not what i need. I am familiar with COPY from the "Share" button. But, it would be much easier if there was a way to change something in settings to paste text without formatting using the regular copy/paste buttons?
Quickly tap anywhere on the text field of the text you want to
copy.
Choose Select All from the contextual menu.
Choose Share from the contextual menu.
4-ChoseCopy from the Share Sheet.

In desktop Mail App there is an option to delete formatting if you can use desktop for that. Method i use on phone is that i'm just pasting it into search and copying it again.

Custom emoticon keyboard IOS

I am currently in the process of building a custom keyboard for IOS devices and wanted to add a custom EMOJI keyboard as well. I have a sheet of custom emoticons already created and do not want the user to have to copy and paste into their message like on the Ikea Emoticon keyboard. Is it possible to have a clone of apples keyboard functionality but with my own emoticons?
If you have something similar like below (emoticon icon)
You can make a slideout UIView with a bunch of your custom emojis using UICollectionView. If the user taps on an emoji it would insert your own Unicode Emoji Text (just example).
You will have to make your own if statements if the text contains emoji unicode to make the emojis appear in your text.
This is how I understand it, I might be wrong, if so, please correct me. :)

iPad text input and text selecting not working properly

This will be difficult to explain so I won't paste any code.
I'm implementing a wysiwyg editor on my site called wysihtml5 and there are several issues when selecting the textarea/editor with the iPad. On a desktop browser, all is fine, the text can be selected, edited, pasted etc. But on the iPad multpiple issues occur:
Can't tap anywhere in the text to move the cursor there
If I manually move the cursor, all of a sudden I can't type anything anymore
Tapping outside of the texteditor doesn't bring the keyboard down
Basically I'm just hoping there's someone who has had similiar experiences with iPad cursor not behaving correctly in text input fields and what possible solutions there might be. I'm stuck and have no idea how to debug this.
Did you use touch event? iOS has a bug: you can't input in editable iframe if you are listening(or had listened) any touch event(touchstart, touchmove...), I tested this bug occurs even you listen other elements but iframe itself. yes, it's a serious bug, you can check out:

Hyperlinks dont work in Captivate 6 when imported from powerpoint

We are trying to create a captivate 6 presentation by importing a powerpoint 2013 presentation that has hyperlinks in it. However, it seems that the hyperlinks don't work when the project is published as a swf file. When you mouse over the hyperlink, the mouse changes the cursor to a hand, but when you click it, nothing happens ? Any ideas on what could be the problem or the fix for this ?
Captivate doesn't understand text hyperlinks; place a click box over the link and assign it the action 'Open URL or file' to accomplish this.
Note: the dropdown immediately to the right of the URL input box allows you to set the target of the link, and whether or not the presentation will be played/paused upon clicking.
