Hello, i'm wondering if it would be possible to select and copy text in pdf's when displayed in preview panel of windows explorer.
My usecase is checking the pdf's i have in various folders to see if i already have them catalogued or not and to check that i usually need to copy paste the title from the pdf. Would be so much easier if i could select and copy text inside the preview window, ideally if the cursor could auto change from hand to select as in the main program.
maybe this can be added at some point in the future?
thx
is it possible to select text in explorer preview?

Hi andreidita
Thanks for the post and suggestion. we have been asked this before and I am told it is possible, so we will do this at some point. I raised the associated feature request ticket, and while intended for internal use only, if you refer to RT#6328: Feature request :: Allow copying Text in the Windows Explorer Preview Handler here then any support staff member will be able to get you a status report.
I do not have an ETA for delivery of said feature, ultimately it will be at the discretion of the development team leader.
cheers
