Strange indeed. The issue I was getting with not being able to copy at all I think was related to having just performed a search. I’m guessing some kind of search dialog pops up which blocks the view or for some reason stops one from being able to copy text. I couldn’t work out how to make the search box (which VoiceOver describes as an image browser) disappear.
I did, however, try with some other PDFs without first performing a search. With all of the ones I tried I only managed to paste an image into TextEdit. I tried with scanned and OCR-ed PDFs as well as original text-based PDFs downloaded from the internet. I might put together a couple of example PDFs to send to Apple Accessibility to illustrate the issue. Would be good to resolve this one as I find copying from PDFs this way really useful. The alternative was to do a VO-shift-c for each line, but this could get tedious with longer passages. Do you know of a way to dismiss the search results box in Preview by any chance? I might just start reading PDFs with Nisus Writer Pro if these issues don’t clear up. Hopefully that still works. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
