About Link to Highlighted Text in PDF

Have you ever wanted to link someone else to a particular passage in a PDF? This tool allows you to do so. Copy the text to the clipboard, then right click and click "Link to Text Copied in Clipboard" (or set a hotkey) to create a link to that text in the PDF! The extension can create an output containing the quote plus the link, or just output the link by itself. This is not normally possible with Chrome's "copy link to highlight" feature, which is turned off for PDFs, but this extension gets around that limitation by using the clipboard.
