Selecting Text within PDF to be used within Switch

I'm looking to select a string of text in PDFs that are entering a flow, and log that selected string so they are an accessible variable within Switch.

I'm utilizing Switch, Pitstop Server and Pro.

Every attempt I have made in selecting the text segment (which I can do) and logging it, doesn't actually report on the string that was selected, just that an object was selected. The text is a live font. Attached is the text that I'm looking to capture in a sample PDF. I want to be able to use the name on this card, within Switch (i.e., "Jeff Carson")

Hi

The next PitStop 2023 will bring capacity of logging text properties including contents. This will allow you to achieve your goal.
