Selecting Whole Document

[Steve5C96]

My preferred way to view documents in DC Pro is "single page view"

This allows me to change page with a single scroll wheel click

Unfortunately, when I use CTRL+A to select all text, only select the current page is selected - is there a way to keep to single page view AND be able to select the whole document text with CTRL+A?

A secondary point is that when trying to find help for this issue, if the user cannot find an existing answer to a problem, there seems to be no way to directly contact Adobe with this question, hence I am posting here

Thanks in advance for any advice provided

*** Update ***

There is a way to contact support via chat, I found it buried in the account settings (naturally the user has to have an account and log into it)

After following their instructions to completely remove DC Pro then re-install....no change

Thanks to all who replied

- No.

You're more likely to get help here, though.

I figured there was no way to do it, thanks for the reply

I tried the regular help without success, hence the post

Considering what Adobe charge for their software, I would expect at least a way to email them direct for support

I'm sure there's a way but I can't seem to find it

[try67]

There isn't. Adobe doesn't provide email support.

Also, support doesn't cover "how-to's", only technical/customer-related issues. They would have just sent you here or to an online tutorial, most likely.

Thank you for the reply

I think this is actually a bug but don't know how to report it to them, just selecting single page view should not make it impossible to select the whole document with CTRL+A

Why does you assume that this is a bug?

[try67]

It's not a bug. Maybe it's inconvenient to you, but it does make sense. If you select the Single Page view then it means you only want to work on that single page at a time. You can easily switch to Continuous View, press Ctrl+A, Ctrl+C and then switch back to Single Page view.

[Steve5C96]

you have a point, but I think the point of "CTRL+A" is to select all, not just the page you are reading

that can be accomplished by manually selecting just the page on display but CTRL+A is by definition, "select all"

I still believe this is a bug
