Hi,
'would love to know how to select & copy all text with a specific format (e.g. text that i colour yellow) into a text file.
e.g. Word has the functionality to highlight text with specific formatting.
How can PDF-Xchange achieve this?
Best,
Folu

Re: Copy Coloured Text
Thx... the Summary of Comments however does not contain the text highlighted (coloured). I need to be able to extract the text. The idea is to be able to highlight text when reading, and then have a list of all the text highlighted.

Re: Copy Coloured Text
You can use "Copy selected text into Highlight, Cross-Out, and Underline comment pop-ups" option in Edit->Preferences...->Commenting. When this option is checked, you can highlight text, and then extract it using Summarize Comments.
