PDF, TXT etc. depend on the application you use to open this files.

PDF and TYT get much more complex.

Can you please tell us why you need that at all?

I need to get the highlighted text in the Word or Excel or PDF document. In order to do so, I need to activate the document and send the "^c" to copy the highlighted text,

Word:

include <Word.au3>
Global $oWord = _Word_Create()
Global $oDoc = _Word_DocGet($oWord, 1)
Send ("^c")
winActivate($oDOc.Name)
Send ("^c")

Excel:

Global $oExcel = _Excel_Open()
Global $oWorkbook = $oExcel.ActiveWorkbook
Send ("^c")

How do I do the same for PDF.

You are mixing two things:

• Automating the GUI (by using Send)
• Automating the program by using COM

Is the text you want to copy always in the active Window?

If yes: Why not just send "^c" to this window?

User will select some text in the document, it can be first paragraph or second (any text). I need to copy those text and push it to clipboard. I will retrieve the value from clipboard using Java and i managed to do so. That's why in need to use Send(^C) , so the text will be pushed to clipboard.

Or would something like this help? This script is triggered by "^c" (could be any other key). it sends "^c" to the active window and then displays the content of the clipboard.

So it is independant of the application in the active window.

HotKeySet("^c", "_Copy")
HotKeySet("{ESC}", "_Exit")

While 1
    Sleep(10)
WEnd

Func _Copy()
    HotKeySet("^c")
    Send("^c")
    $aClipBoard = ClipGet()
    MsgBox(0, "Content of Clipboard", $aClipBoard)
    HotKeySet("^c", "_Copy")
EndFunc   ;==>_Copy

Func _Exit()
    Exit
EndFunc   ;==>_Exit
