Enhancement Request - Multiple Selection and Copy/Paste

[ketter]

We have found XChange Viewer PRO to be a great product for marking up PDFs. But quite often we will have a markup that consists of maybe a cloud and some lines and some text. Then we need to put that identical markup in another part of the PDF. Unfortunately we can only select a single markup item at a time. And when we copy/paste, it places the copy on top of the original. It would be great if we could use the Ctrl and Shift keys to select multiple items. And when we copy/paste them, it would be great if the objects would appear at the cursor for placement rather than dropping on top of the originals. Thank you!

In the latest builds, when you paste an item using the context menu, it is placed at the position where the context menu was called.

When you use Edit -> Paste, or a keyboard shortcut, the behavior depends on the Viewers preferences (see Edit -> Preferences -> Commenting).

Ivan,

Thanks! Edit, Preferences, Commenting, Paste comments into mouse position solves half the problem. Now how about selecting multiple objects? Either by dragging a window or multiple pick points. This is such a standard thing in most programs anymore that my users find the lack of it frustrating.

Multiple selection and group operations will be introduced into the next general release (V3).
