Lost Text Copy capability. Generally, lost Text Select capability.

 

The “PDF reader - simple viewer” app, however, continues to support Text Select.

Hi @Larry26601574cojt

 

The feature is still available. You may need to long press the word (2-3 sec) and it should highlight the word you want to select or copy depending upon the requirement.

Hi @Larry26601574cojt,

 

Hope you are doing well. Sorry for your experience with Acrobat Reader Mobile.

 

Would you mind sharing the workflow you are following?

 

I tried reproducing the issue on my end, but everything worked fine.

 

Can you try the following steps and let me know if it works:

Open the PDF you need-> Select the pencil icon on the bottom right-> Select the option Edit PDF-> Now select the part where you want to choose the text -> Once the text box appears, long press the word, and it should capture.

 

Hope this helps.

 

-Souvik.

    Entering Edit mode was not a prerequisite for Copy in the prior release. Now, depending on the file's permissions, the app responds with "file is read only" or "subscribe" to enable edit. I never needed Edit capability.
