Copy Images and Text from PDF Files - Essay Example

Click the left mouse button and drag the cursor over the text or image you want to copy. Make sure you don’t let go of the left click button until the entire area you want to copy is highlighted. Once you are sure, let go of the left click button and you’ll find that a copy of the area highlighted has been made.

The copied area is essentially a picture of the part of the PDF doc you selected. You can now paste this area into a Microsoft Word, Excel or PowerPoint document.  To paste the area, go to the document where you want to paste the image or text. Place your cursor in the right position and click the right mouse button. In the options, search for ‘paste’ and click that to paste the copied area into your new document. And like that, you can copy content from PDF files. Please note that the above method only works on PDF files.
