bind ctrl-o any endSelection "run(pdfcapture '%f' '%p' '%x' '%y' '%X'

Certainly named options should be added to the script besides obtaining 
of actual page height. I have not checked if the script is resistant in 
respect to specially crafted file names and other such things. Do not 
know if terminal control sequences could appear in selection. Xpdf has 
known problems with handling of text encodings.
