Selecting tables and formatted text (Windows)
The table/formatted text select tool allows you to select tables and text in a PDF
document and retain the original formatting when the material is copied (or imported)
into other applications. You can specify vertical or horizontal format, the type of text flow,
and whether you want ANSI Text (simple text), OEM Text, Unicode Text, or Rich Text Format
(RTF).
Note:
To select large quantities of formatted text or large tables, use the Save As
command, as described in
“Copying PDF text and graphics to other applications” on
page 103
.
You can copy selected tables and text in the following ways:
•
Drag and drop the selected table or text to a Windows application. Drag and drop is
always performed in Rich Text Format.
•
Copy to a clipboard for use with Windows applications.
•
Save to a file that can then be loaded or imported to Windows applications. The default
for the Save As command is ANSI Text format.
Using the table/formatted text select tool
The default settings of the table/formatted text select tool automatically read the nature
and format of the selected data as table or text, horizontal or vertical. Currently, vertical
format is used only with Japanese fonts.
Note:
When working with multiple columns of text, such as a newspaper or magazine
article format, you must manually choose the Table option from the context menu for the
tool to correctly read the selected text.
To change the default settings, choose from the options in the context menu or the Prefer-
ences menu. For more information, see
“Setting preferences for the table/formatted text
select tool” on page 108
.
Important:
You cannot select both horizontal and vertical text in a single zone. Also, if you
select vertical (Japanese) text to be copied into Word, you must change the text direction
settings to vertical to be able to view the outcome.
