Thank you all for your feedback. Sebastien Bacher: I just found out that selective screenshots can be taken via the native screenshot application in Ubuntu, therefore marking this bug as invalid is acceptable and I can see your reasons for this.
I filed this feature request about two years ago while using Ubuntu 11.04 and I am quite sure that in the last years this feature was not implemented in the native screenshot application, which made me install and use "shutter". -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to evince in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/796188 Title: Feature Request: Tool: Save screenshot of area to clipboard Status in Evince document viewer: Invalid Status in “evince” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: Binary package hint: evince I'm curious whether it's possible to add a feature to evince which allows the user the following: 1. select the screenshot tool 2. select a specific area of the document with your mouse (a rectangle: press to start selection and release mouse button when finished) 3. the selected area will be saved to the clipboard as an image which can be pasted e.g. in Openoffice.org Writer or comparable office software I'm inquiring about this feature because I know it from Acrobat Reader and it's the last feature that's keeping me from uninstalling Acrobat. I know a lot of people at university who use this tool on a regular basis when creating summaries of lectures. It's a very pleasant way to copy & paste important parts of PDF documents, mainly diagrams and illustrations and imo this won't be too much of a hassle to implement. I attached a screenshot of the desired functionality as observed while using Acrobat Reader. I hope this clears it up a bit.
