copy-paste text from pdf to Word WITHOUT line-break/word-wrap

Post by UserIn »

How can I copy a text from a pdf to word without any formatting INCLUDING line-breaks and word-wraps.

Now I only use replace "^p" to "space", which is still to time-consuming.

Is there an PDF-XChange Editor copy-option to copy only text without line-breaks?

Thank you for yor help

Hello UserIn,

How about you try opening a dialog from the Preferences menu on the File tab and disabling the following options in the Page Text category?

  • Add line breaks after every text line to match the visual layout of what was copied
