To copy the image from a zone to Clipboard:
1. Make Image view active.
2. Click the Draw/Select Zones tool in the Tool palette.
3. Select the zone you want to copy by clicking it.
4. Choose Copy in the Edit menu. A copy of the image from the zone
area is placed on the Clipboard. It can be pasted into any target
application capable of handling PICT images. It retains its original
resolution and color depth value (up to 256 colors).
Note
Copying through Clipboard (and Direct OCR) work best for processing just a few
pages, especially under Mac OS 9 if an application’s partition is almost full. Save
larger documents to a file format compatible with your application.
Using drag-and-drop functionality
Drag-and-drop can be used for import (see page 38) and export.
Dragging a thumbnail for whole page export
You can drag a thumbnail from Thumbnail view to the Desktop, to a
folder or to another application that supports drag-and-drop
functionality. The image of the thumbnail’s page is placed as a PICT
image with the same resolution and mode (black-and-white, grayscale
or color) as the original image. If it is dragged to the Desktop or a
folder, it is named Picture clipping, with a numerical suffix if necessary.
Dragging a zone from Image view
You can drag a single selected zone from Image view to the same
locations. A copy of the zone contents is placed as a PICT image, with
the same behavior as for a whole page.
