SR.SelectionDoesNotResolveToAPage (end)

Error message

SR.SelectionDoesNotResolveToAPage (end)

What it means

ArgumentException from FixedTextSelectionProcessor.GetSelectedNodes: the selection's end point cannot be resolved to a fixed-document page (the page lookup for segment.End failed), so the end of the selection does not map to any FixedPage.

Solutions

1. Verify the selection lies within a fixed document and pagination has completed before processing
2. Trim the selection to a segment whose end resolves to a page
