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!

Re: Copy URL in existing PDF into clipboard
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?

Re: Copy URL in existing PDF into clipboard
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://.
