Copy/Paste Markups

Post by BenjaminCS »

Hi,

I am trying to copy/paste markups like text boxes, inside the same document or to documents opened in other tabs. Somehow it doesn't work, I just select the text box, Ctrl+C, but then Ctrl+V does nothing... Is it supposed to be possible?

PDF X-Change Editor v5.5 Build 308.1 Jun 3 2014.

Thanks.

Tried it with the text box and it works for me, but the pasted image is in the exact position of the one copied if it's on the same page so it's not immediately obvious that's it's been copied.
You need to drag the copied text box from there.

Okay, it was absolutely not working and I was trying everything, but I just quit PDF X-Change Editor and restarted the application, now it works. Strange, but I should have thought of doing that before, the fundamental principle of computer science: reboot and try again.
Thanks for the confirmation.

Hi Benjamin,

Glad to hear it's working now. Also make sure you have the latest build 308.2 installed:

Oops, same in build 308.2!
Copying does not work as expected.
After exit and restart the application it does.
And copying by drag&drop with keeping the CTRL-key pressed down does also not work anymore :(
Any idea?

Hi chesscourt,

Thanks for post - so is it exactly the same as before and does restarting the program fix the problem this time? It's strange, because this works fine for me here. Is this specific to one document, or a set of documents?

As for Ctrl + drag to copy, I'm afraid that this hasn't yet been implemented in the Editor, but it's something that we're definitely looking to add for a future release.

Cheers,
