Unable to select words in a PDF

I remember using OCR'd PDFs in which I could select any word in the text and have a translation window pop-up for it. After updaing to 3.17.3 I can no longer do this with pdf's, only with epubs.

Was this functionality removed? I'm confused...

IIRC there has never been any ability on any of the Kobo e-inks to do this with pdf's (OCR or not). Likely you had converted the OCR'ed PDF to epub or something else and were able to do it that way.
