2010-06-14 15:45:01 Henk Broekema description When trying to select a sentence or paragraph from one (of the two) column(s) of a PDF file (a scientific paper), paragraphs of the other column are selected as well. It is like Document Viewer 2.30.1 does not recognize the columns in PDF-files. Copying and pasting text from a two-columned PDF file is therefore impossible, unless I will after pasting delete all the fragments of the other column that came along. When trying to select a sentence or paragraph from one (of the two) column(s) of some PDF files (for instance a scientific paper), paragraphs of the other column are selected as well. It is like Document Viewer 2.30.1 does not recognize the columns in all PDF-files. Copying and pasting text from some two-columned PDF files is therefore impossible, unless I will after pasting delete all the fragments of the other column that came along.
