Copy URL in existing PDF into clipboard

[4mc]

I must be missing something obvious. I use Chrome to open a URL, the URL downloads a PDF that is opened in PDF-XCHANGE, the pdf has a url/link to another pdf, I want to copy that URL into the clipboard to past into an email.

Hover over the url/link shows the hand/pointer icon with a small globe and a text box with the target/URL.

can't see how to copy it. Tried selecting the entire URL/Link, right click, Copy copies the text, copy as rich text, copies the text as rich text. Can't see how to access to actual URL.

HELP!

my work around is to drag/drop the PDF on another Chrome window and then use Chrome to copy the URL/Link address. What am I missing?

Hi 4mc,

you could use a combination of the "Links Pane" and "Properties Pane" to select the desired link and copy the URL from it's properties:

But that is pretty messy, and I agree that it would be nice to have this functionality like most web browsers do. To that end I brought this up with the development team leader and he agrees this is a reasonable request, so have raised a formal Feature Request for it. While intended for internal use only, should you refer to RT#5616: Feature Request :: Editor :: Copy URL in existing PDF into clipboard then any support staff member can get you a status update.
Do be aware that there are a number of Link Object types of links, not just URLs for web resources, as I understand it this feature is only going to address web link URLs, http:// and https://.
