How to copy text from a pdf doc?

Post by mattad »

How can I can copy text (paragraphes) from a loaded pdf doc?
I found no suitable menu for this.

Competitor tool Foxit Pdf Viewer offers in such a case a "Text Viewer" mode where I can mark and copy
text form the currently active page.

Where is an analogue function in PDF-XChange Viewer?
