            Bug ID: 239652
           Summary: [iOS] Lookup is missing in PDF
           Product: WebKit
           Version: Safari 15
          Hardware: Unspecified
                OS: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: PDF
          Assignee: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org

When WebKit displays PDF files, it uses "PDFHostingViewController" and its view to present the PDF file content on screen. Most user interactions are handled by PDFHostingViewController and this is part of Apple's internal/private SDK.

With currently exposed/released properties and interfaces of PDFHostingViewController, it is almost impossible for non-Apple developer to add "Lookup" context menu item to WKWebView viewing PDF content.

It is quite useful to users who read PDF files and lookup words with iOS dictionaries with Safari or WebKit browsers.

Thanks for looking into this issue.
