Copy a word in PDF to clipboard with one mouse clicked?

[Sivaro]

I'm a newbie and want to know that AutoIT can do this task against PDF file?

While user read text using Acrobar Reader and move cursor to a word then click on that word(english).

Can AutoIT automatically capture that word and put it into clipboard? (without manually select that word by user)

Or anyone knows there is an already written script, please let me know.

Thanks.

Do you mean like this?

#include <Misc.au3>
$dll = DllOpen("user32.dll")
While 1
    Sleep(25)
    If _IsPressed("11", $dll) And _IsPressed("01", $dll) Then ; Ctrl key and Left Mouse Button
        Sleep(25)
        MouseClick("left")
        Send("^c")
        MsgBox(0, "ClipBoard", ClipGet())
    EndIf
WEnd
DllClose($dll)

Thanks for a reply.

By the way, I don't see the code which do extract the word at the cursor pointing (that word is not explicitly selected via mouse drag).

however, I will test your script and let you know.

....

Yes, It worked like a charm! Thank you, JoHanatCen. I think I need to study AutoIT more to understand how it worked.

Thanks again.
