If words are highlighted within any program whilst stardict is open, and stardict has the correct option set, it automatically interprets the word and makes a popup with the definition.
The OP is asking how to highlight words in a pdf reader.
Unfortunately, the answer is I don't think it's possible with evince for maemo at the moment - Evince can definitely select text (e.g. select all), but any movement of the pointer is automatically assumed to be a panning request, rather than text highlight.
As for xarchiver, no, that's a frontend for archiving commands e.g. tar zip.

I tried several PDF viewers. I cannot highlight the words, but move the page.
In Adobe PDF reader, if you use Select, you can highlight the words. I could not find similar function in OS2008 PDF readers.
