(Archived) Clipping text from pdf

[adorno's gray 18]

Hello,

A very basic question. In Safari, to clip text I merely highlight the text, press the bookmark bar icon, and within a few seconds the selected text, along with the webpage title, is imported into evernote.

I am unable to do this with a pdf file. I select the text, and then what? I know I can copy it and then press ctl-apple-v, but then the evernote program comes to the forefront, it doesn't important the title of the document, and is a fair bit more work than web-clipping.

Am I missing something here? Seems to me there should be an option to select text, right-click it and send to evernote.

Cheers.

Please? Someone must know the way…

Patience. Expecting a reply within four hours is a bit hasty. And especially since here in the U.S., it's a long, holiday weekend. Since many participants are in the U.S., that means the board is less active than normal.

Ah, yes, of course. Cheers.

No one else clips from pdf, or has this problem?

You aren't missing anything, the functionality you are looking for isn't currently available.

Cheers for the reply, metrodon.

It seems as though it is a much needed feature, although it is possible that I am re-purposing evernote or using it how it is not intended to be used, i.e. not simply web-based.

Will also love to see this feature added in the near feature. It it would be very userfull to clip content from one of your PDF's to a note instead of having to copy paste.
