António, that's exactly what I needed. But it leads to my next question. The PDFSelection class as far as I can tell basically supports what in Preview.app is the "text" tool on the toolbar. The selection tool in Preview.app selects an arbitrary rectangle, even if there's no text behind the image.
So, is there some way of changing the behavior of the given PDFSelection, or do I have to "hand code" this (using the Cropped image example code, for instance)?
