- Helllo, I want to transfer a pdf to my c# program using.net 3.5. I know, there are libs for that, but I am not allowed to use such. So I came up with the idea to just copy the content of the pdf file manually and then transform it to my datatable.
- Online PDF reader Open the PDF in your online reader or Internet browser by clicking the link to the file. Select the text you want to copy by holding down the left mouse button and dragging across the text. Press and hold the Ctrl key and the C key on your keyboard. Open a word processor or text.
So I ran into a problem the other day when I had to copy some text from a PDF file and paste it into a presentation that I was doing. The problem was I could not copy the text! Hmm, I thought, there must be something stupid I am doing since I am pretty sure I have copied text from a PDF file before.
