Hello @Move6032

Unfortunately, selection is not yet implemented. An enhancement suggestion was registered earlier, I am forwarding your request.
Once it becomes available, I will let you know. Sorry for inconvenience.

Hello @Constantine

Is there perhaps any progress with that? Selecting and finding text in the PDF are quite basic features and despite over 1,5 year from the creating the post it’s still not implemented in the Mobile App (at least on Android).

Hello @Bono
Right now, we’re using a third-party PDF viewer in the Android app, where implementing the requested feature is not possible.
We are planning to switch to our own viewer in future versions of the ONLYOFFICE Documents app, which will give us more opportunities to implement new features.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
