a question about pdf reading

jesseh · 04-26-2011, 05:06 PM

Hello, I want to copy part of the pdf text and paste it to Journal. Does PE allow me to do that? Or, can PE export my highlighted text to a file so later I can just read the highlighted parts? Thank you for the help.

The short answer is no, the long answer is everything you highlight will be accessible By selecting the info icon. A page will open on the LCD screen and you can select go to location.Your highlighted text will be there.

cheyennedonna, thank you for the info. The inability to export highlights sounds a little disappointing.

Of all the functions I wish the PDF reader/annotator had, I can honestly say that this is not one that had even occurred to me.

Jesseh, I want to make sure that you know you can select and copy from a pdf, then paste into Docs to Go on the tablet side. Can't paste anything into the Journal, as far as I know.

Hello Filark, this information (to copy text from PDF to Docs to Go) is super-helpful to me! Thanks.

Oh good!!

There may be better ways, but that is what I was able to find. Then sending in email, saving, compiling, transfer to PC is easy from there.
