Drag and Drop Text

Post by TriSys »

I would like to select text in the PDF Viewer and then drag that into another control on my form.
It appears that I can get the selection to work (although it does not work properly for small text), but when I then try to drag that, the previously selected text is unselected.
When I use the Adobe Acrobat Reader however, I can select and drag/drop - can I do this with your controls?

Hi TriSys,

I removed your duplicate post in the wrong forum.

I do not think this is possible but will ask someone from the Viewer SDK development team to confirm this.

Regards,
Stefan

I'm also waiting for this DnD feature. Do you know when the v3.x would be released? (rough guess would be fine - you don't have to commit :wink: ).
Thanks!

Hi,

The best guess would be sometime in the first quarter next year - but that would be about as precise a date as we can offer at this time.

thanks for your patience.

Dear Support team,

It turns out that this feature is one of the key features that we need for our application that'll be released some time in November. So, I'd like to ask you if it's possible to add this feature in your next release. I understand that you have other priorities to work on first, but it'll be hard for us to release our application without this feature. It would be great if you can let us know the earliest date that this feature can be included in your releases.

Thanks!

Hi

I am afraid we cannot be any more specific than we have been at this time.

Thanks John for your reply.
Vasyl mentioned that this feature will be available in the v3.x releases, which would be sometime in the first quarter next year (as you mentioned).
So, I was wondering if there's any chance that this feature can be included in the v2.x releases??? Please :!: :wink:

Hi,

sorry - V3 it has to be, as this requires certain re-engineering of the architecture which wont be possible until then.
