Google plans to add “Link to Text Fragment” Feature for PDF Reader in Chrome Browser

Google is improving its Chrome PDF reader with the addition of the “Link to Text Fragment” feature, meaning to work on sharing specific sections of lengthy documents.
The ‘Link to Text Fragment’ feature in Google Chrome allows you to share a link to a specific part of a webpage. You select the text you need to feature, and it creates a links at the point when somebody taps the link, it takes them to the exact text and features it.
The feature isn’t compatible with PDFs now; however, Google is upgrading Chrome PDF reader by introducing the “Link to Text Fragment” highlight, making it simpler to share specific sections of lengthy documents.
An observer of Chromium code, Leo, uncovered the feature and shared their discovery on X (formerly Twitter). A user on X shared that Google is set to introduce text selection in PDFs, along with a new feature for “Copy link to highlight” and the capability to share highlights with others.
This feature, once carried out, will simplify the way we share and access specific information in PDFs. While Google is currently experimenting with this feature, the timetable for its steady version release is not determined yet.
In addition to enhancing text fragment support in the PDF viewer, Google is making progress in further developing tab grouping and using artificial intelligence (AI) for scam detection.
