Copy Coloured Text

Post by folu_limitless »

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

Open the Comments Pane, and click on Summarize Comments at the top right.

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.

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.
