PDFescape Adds Text Selection To Online PDF Viewer

By Rowan Hanna on 23 October, 2008 | , No Comment

The team behind PDFescape recently announced on their blog that they have added text selection to their online PDF Viewer. Users can now select and copy text in PDF files when viewing them online and paste the copied text to another location — a text file on their desktop for example.

Currently this feature is only currently available in Firefox, though additional browsers will be supported in the future.

Adobe Reader 9 + Windows 7: We Have Lift-Off!

Installing software on an unsupported operating system isn’t usually a good idea. In fact, it is quite often fraught with risk, as a lot of people found in 2006 when they tried to install software on Windows Vista that was originally been built for Windows XP and hadn’t been updated yet.
