My biggest issue, and the same for using it to view pictures or jpegs, is the lack of any text or image area capture and pasting ability, aside from entire pages and pics. (Unless I am really
You can copy text, and graphics (as a Picture Clipping) easily from within Preview. It works great. From the Help file:
* To copy text, choose Tools > Text Tool and drag over the text as you normally would. Then choose Edit > Copy. With some PDF files, line breaks are not saved by default when you copy text, so when you paste the text, the lines all run together. * To copy text with line breaks and other graphical elements intact, choose Tools > Text Tool, then press the Option key and drag to select the text. Then choose Edit > Copy. * To select only a portion of text horizontally (for example, to select only one column in a two-column document), choose Tools > Text Tool, then press the Option key and select the text. * To select a portion of the page and copy it as a graphical image, choose Tools > Select Tool and select a portion of the page. Then choose Edit > Copy.
OK, either I am completely inept or I think we're talking about two different versions of Preview here. I am using 10.2.8 and my Preview doesn't do any of that. I don't have those options.
Maybe the Panther version of Preview is greatly improved over Jaguar's?
