Supporting selection is really complicated despite it looks easy to implement. Please use a PDF viewer instead.

PS: If someone is willing to add this feature, please send me a PR.

You are right, it is not easy but someone added text selection support to PdfiumViewer.
You can find the code in this pull request pvginkel/PdfiumViewer#172.
Problem is, that the PdfiumViewer project looks pretty much abandoned and i am not sure if this will ever land in the NuGet package. Someone even created an issue pvginkel/PdfiumViewer#187 to point to the PR.

Any luck with this? It's a pretty major feature that will be super useful in speeding up processing of documents...
