Select AND copy

Post by sonicwaves »

Is there some tool in PDF Xchange that could help me simultaneously select text AND copy that text as I select it?

Hello sonicwaves,

If you are using the text select, a quick way to then copy the text you just selected is pressing Ctrl + C (as in many other applications).
If you are using the highlight tool, then you can have the highlighted text copied in the pop-up note of the highlight annotation by turning this setting on:
Edit -> Preferences -> Commenting -> Copy Selected text into Highlight, Cross-out, and Underline comment pop-ups.

Best,
Stefan
