Unable to copy image objects

Post by tomlin »

I am a new user of PDF-XChange Viewer and from what I can understand I am supposed to use the Select Tool when I want to copy image objects from PDFs. However in the version I'm using (ver. 2.0, build 42.0, beta) I can't select the image object with the Select Tool. Is this a bug, or is it by design?

I can still copy the images using Acrobat Reader, but I would prefer if it was possible in PDF-XChange Viewer.

Hello tomlin,

For the moment it is not possible to copy images in the viewer. You can extract them using PDF Tools, but for now you can only take a "snapshot" in the viewer.

Hi,
First thing to say is that I loved pdfXchange viewer and I recommend it to my collegues who are used to read many pdfs a day.
Second is a bit worrying; I used to copy images using selection tool in adobe reader. I couldn't find a way to copy an image without pointing a rectangle border in your software. This is not an issue only about impracticality, also I can't copy images in original clearness using your software. I tried many different sizes but always I got blurred images comparing to adobe reader. I hope you will offer a practical and efficient way as you beat adobe reader in many ways.
I'm looking forward to hear about the solution.
Best regards

For now viewer doesn't support the copying of original images.

This will be in Version 3 released later this summer.
